Abstract

A silicon carbide epitaxial substrate includes: a silicon carbide single-crystal substrate having a polytype of 4H and having a principal surface inclined at an angle θ from a {0001} plane in a <11-20> direction; and a silicon carbide epitaxial layer provided on the principal surface and having a basal plane dislocation, wherein even when the basal plane dislocation is irradiated with an ultraviolet light having a power of 270 mW and a wavelength of 313 nm for 10 seconds, the basal plane dislocation does not move.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A silicon carbide epitaxial substrate comprising:
 a silicon carbide single-crystal substrate having a polytype of 4H and having a principal surface inclined at an angle θ from a {0001} plane in a <11-20> direction; and   a silicon carbide epitaxial layer provided on the principal surface and having a basal plane dislocation,   wherein even when the basal plane dislocation is irradiated with an ultraviolet light having a power of 270 mW and a wavelength of 313 nm for 10 seconds, the basal plane dislocation does not move.   
     
     
         2 . The silicon carbide epitaxial substrate according to  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the silicon carbide single-crystal substrate is greater than or equal to 150 mm. 
     
     
         3 . The silicon carbide epitaxial substrate according to  claim 1 , wherein the angle θ is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 6°.
