Abstract

A single-crystal substrate of silicon carbide comprising a single-crystal substrate member of a material other than .alpha.-SiC, and a single-crystal layer of .alpha.-SiC formed over the substrate member with a ground layer provided between the substrate member and the single-crystal layer, the ground layer comprising a single-crystal layer of nitride of AlN, GaN or Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N (0<x<1) having a hexagonal crystal structure or a crystal layer of the same structure made of a mixture of SiC and at least one of the nitrides; and a method for fabricating the same.
