摘要: A first main surface is a (000-1) plane or a plane inclined by an angle of less than or equal to 8° relative to the (000-1) plane. A reaction chamber has a cross-sectional area of more than or equal to 132 cm2 and less than or equal to 220 cm2 in a plane perpendicular to a direction of movement of a mixed gas. When an X axis indicates a first value and a Y axis indicates a second value, the first value and the second value fall within a hexagonal region surrounded by first coordinates, second coordinates, third coordinates, fourth coordinates, fifth coordinates and sixth coordinates in XY plane coordinates, where the first coordinates are (0.038, 0.0019), the second coordinates are (0.069, 0.0028), the third coordinates are (0.177, 0.0032), the fourth coordinates are (0.038, 0.0573), the fifth coordinates are (0.069, 0.0849), and the sixth coordinates are (0.177, 0.0964).

摘要: A first main surface is a (000-1) plane or a plane inclined by an angle of less than or equal to 8° relative to the (000-1) plane. A substrate placement surface has an area of more than or equal to 697 cm2 and less than or equal to 1161 cm2. When an X axis indicates a first value and a Y axis indicates a second value, the first value and the second value fall within a hexagonal region surrounded by first coordinates, second coordinates, third coordinates, fourth coordinates, fifth coordinates and sixth coordinates in XY plane coordinates, where the first coordinates are (0.038, 0.0019), the second coordinates are (0.069, 0.0028), the third coordinates are (0.177, 0.0032), the fourth coordinates are (0.038, 0.0573), the fifth coordinates are (0.069, 0.0849), and the sixth coordinates are (0.177, 0.0964).

摘要: A silicon carbide epitaxial film has a plurality of arc-shaped or annular basal plane dislocations and a plurality of threading dislocations. The plurality of threading dislocations have a first threading dislocation which is surrounded by the plurality of basal plane dislocations and a second threading dislocation which is not surrounded by the plurality of basal plane dislocations, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to a main surface. The plurality of basal plane dislocations and the first threading dislocation constitute an annular defect. An area density of the plurality of threading dislocations in the main surface is more than or equal to 50 cm−2. A value obtained by dividing an area density of the annular defect when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the main surface by the area density of the plurality of threading dislocations in the main surface is more than or equal to 0.00002 and less than or equal to 0.004.

摘要: A silicon carbide epitaxial layer includes a first silicon carbide layer, a second silicon carbide layer, a third silicon carbide layer, and a fourth silicon carbide layer. A nitrogen concentration of the second silicon carbide layer is increased from the first silicon carbide layer toward the third silicon carbide layer. A value obtained by dividing, by a thickness of the second silicon carbide layer, a value obtained by subtracting a nitrogen concentration of the first silicon carbide layer from a nitrogen concentration of the third silicon carbide layer is less than or equal to 6×1023 cm−4. Assuming that the nitrogen concentration of the third silicon carbide layer is N cm−3 and a thickness of the third silicon carbide layer is X μm, X and N satisfy a Formula 1.

摘要: The composite defect includes an extended defect and a basal plane dislocation. The extended defect includes a first region extending in a direction from an origin located at a boundary between the silicon carbide substrate and the silicon carbide epitaxial film, and a second region extending along a direction. The first region has a width in the direction that increases from the origin toward the second region. The basal plane dislocation includes a third region continuous to the origin and extending along the direction, and a fourth region extending along a direction intersecting the direction. When an area of the main surface is a first area, and an area of a quadrangle circumscribed around the composite defect is a second area, a value obtained by dividing the second area by the first area is not more than 0.001.
