Title:
SILICON CARBIDE EPITAXIAL SUBSTRATE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/051975
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This silicon carbide epitaxial substrate (100) comprises a silicon carbide single crystal substrate (10), and, above the silicon carbide single crystal substrate (10), an epitaxial layer (20). The silicon carbide single crystal substrate (10) diameter is 100 mm or greater. The epitaxial layer (20) thickness is 10 μm or greater. The carrier concentration in the epitaxial layer (20) is between 1 × 1014 cm-3 and 1 × 1016 cm-3 inclusive. The ratio, with respect to the carrier concentration mean value in the epitaxial layer (20) plane, of the carrier concentration standard deviation in the same plane, is 10% or lower. The epitaxial layer (20) has a main surface (21). The arithmetic mean roughness Sa of the main surface (21) is 0.3 nm or lower as per a three dimensional surface roughness measurement. On the main surface (21), the surface density of pits caused by threading screw dislocation is 1000 cm-2 or less. Inside a pit (2), the maximum depth from the main surface (21) is 8 nm or greater.
