摘要: A silicon carbide epitaxial substrate includes a silicon carbide substrate, a first silicon carbide epitaxial layer, and a second silicon carbide epitaxial layer. The silicon carbide substrate has a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface. The first silicon carbide epitaxial layer is in contact with a whole of the first main surface. The second silicon carbide epitaxial layer is in contact with a whole of the second main surface. A carrier concentration of the silicon carbide substrate is higher than a carrier concentration of each of the first silicon carbide epitaxial layer and the second silicon carbide epitaxial layer.

摘要: A silicon carbide epitaxial substrate includes a silicon carbide single crystal substrate and a silicon carbide layer. In a direction parallel to a central region, a ratio of a standard deviation of a carrier concentration of the silicon carbide layer to an average value of the carrier concentration of the silicon carbide layer is less than 5%. The average value of the carrier concentration is more than or equal to 1×1014 cm−3 and less than or equal to 5×1016 cm−3. In the direction parallel to the central region, a ratio of a standard deviation of a thickness of the silicon carbide layer to an average value of the thickness of the silicon carbide layer is less than 5%. The central region has an arithmetic mean roughness (Sa) of less than or equal to 1 nm. The central region has a haze of less than or equal to 50.

摘要: A semiconductor stack includes a substrate made of silicon carbide, and an epi layer disposed on the substrate and made of silicon carbide. An epi principal surface, which is a principal surface opposite to the substrate, of the epi layer is a carbon surface having an off angle of 4° or smaller relative to a c-plane. In the epi principal surface, a plurality of first recessed portions having a rectangular circumferential shape in a planar view is formed. Density of a second recessed portion that is formed in the first recessed portions and is a recessed portion deeper than the first recessed portions is lower than or equal to 10 cm−2 in the epi principal surface.

摘要: An epitaxial wafer includes a silicon carbide film having a first main surface. A groove portion is formed in the first main surface. The groove portion extends in one direction along the first main surface. Moreover, a width of the groove portion in the one direction is twice or more as large as a width of the groove portion in a direction perpendicular to the one direction. Moreover, a maximum depth of the groove portion from the first main surface is not more than 10 nm.

摘要: A silicon carbide epitaxial substrate includes a silicon carbide single crystal substrate and a silicon carbide layer. The silicon carbide single crystal substrate has a first main surface. The silicon carbide layer is on the first main surface. The silicon carbide layer includes a second main surface opposite to a surface thereof in contact with the silicon carbide single crystal substrate. The second main surface has a maximum diameter of more than or equal to 100 mm. The second main surface includes an outer peripheral region which is within 3 mm from an outer edge of the second main surface, and a central region surrounded by the outer peripheral region. The central region has a haze of less than or equal to 75 ppm.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a silicon carbide epitaxial substrate includes epitaxially growing a first layer on a silicon carbide single crystal substrate, and forming a second layer at an outermost surface of the first layer. The second layer has a chemical composition or density different from that of the first layer. A ratio of a thickness of the second layer to a thickness of the first layer is more than 0% and less than or equal to 10%.

摘要: A silicon carbide epitaxial substrate has a silicon carbide single-crystal substrate and a silicon carbide layer. An average value of carrier concentration in the silicon carbide layer is not less than 1×1015 cm−3 and not more than 5×1016 cm−3. In-plane uniformity of the carrier concentration is not more than 2%. The second main surface has: a groove 80 extending in one direction along the second main surface, a width of the groove in the one direction being twice or more as large as a width thereof in a direction perpendicular to the one direction, and a maximum depth of the groove from the second main surface being not more than 10 nm; and a carrot defect. A value obtained by dividing a number of the carrot defects by a number of the grooves is not more than 1/500.
