Abstract
A manufacturing apparatus of a SiC single crystal which can suppress the generation of a polycrystal is provided. A jig (41) and a crucible (6) are accommodated in a chamber (1). A SiC solution (8) is housed in the crucible (6). The jig (41) includes a seed shaft (411) and a cover member (412). The seed shaft (411) can move up and down, and a SiC seed crystal (9) is attached to the lower surface thereof. The cover member (412) is attached to the lower end portion of the seed shaft (411). The cover member (412) is a housing which has an opening at its lower end, wherein the lower end portion of the seed shaft (411) is disposed in the cover member (412).
