A manufacturing method of an SiC single crystal includes preparing an SiC substrate, implanting ions into a surface portion of the SiC substrate to form an ion implantation layer, activating the ions implanted into the surface portion of the SiC substrate by annealing, chemically etching the surface portion of the SiC substrate to form an etch pit that is caused by a threading screw dislocation included in the SiC substrate and performing an epitaxial growth of SiC to form an SiC growth layer on a surface of the SiC substrate including an inner wall of the etch pit in such a manner that portions of the SiC growth layer grown on the inner wall of the etch pit join with each other.
