Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: To obtain many large-sized wafers in the SiC single crystal growth process by sublimation by using a cylinder having an elliptical or corner-rounded quadrangular base as a crucible or the inner wall of a growth chamber. CONSTITUTION: An SiC seed crystal substrate 3 is mounted on the base of the grwoth chamber 2 of a cylindrical graphite crucible 1 having an elliptic inner wall or a corner-rounded base, and an SiC raw powder 5 in the crucible is sublimated in an inert gas atmosphere to grow an SiC single crystal ingot 4 on the SiC substrate vertically to the base. The ingot 4 is affected by the shape of the inner wall of the growth chamber, and a cylindrical ingot having an elliptic or corner-rounded quadrangular base is obtained. The ratio of the minor axis (a) to major axis (b) is appropriately controlled to about 1:2. The ingot 4 is cut parallel to the growth direction or cut at an inclination of several degrees to the growth direction, and many large and uniform-sized SiC wafers 9 are obtained.
