Abstract: A silicon carbide single crystal is grown by a method comprising: a single crystal growth step of growing a silicon carbide single crystal so as to not close a gap between a side surface of the silicon carbide single crystal growing on a silicon carbide seed crystal, and an inner-side surface of a guide member and a crystal deposited on the inner-side surface of the guide member; a crystal growth termination step of terminating crystal growth by temperature lowering; and a gap enlargement step, performed between the single crystal growth step and the crystal growth termination step, of enlarging the gap by maintaining a difference, Pin−Pout, between partial pressure Pin of Si2C in a source gas in the vicinity of an inlet of the gap and partial pressure Pout of Si2C in a source gas in the vicinity of an outlet of the gap at 0.18 torr or less.
