Abstract

This silicon carbide semiconductor substrate (10) is equipped with: a base substrate (1) made from single crystal silicon carbide and having a principal surface (1A) with an outer diameter of at least 100mm; an epitaxial layer (2) formed on the principal surface (1A); and a deformation-suppressing layer (8) formed on the rear surface (1B) which is positioned on the reverse side to the principal surface (1A) of the base substrate (1). By adopting this configuration, the deformation of the substrate (for example warping of the substrate during high-temperature processing) is minimized by the deformation-suppressing layer (8). As a consequence, when implementing a method for producing a silicon carbide semiconductor device using the silicon carbide semiconductor substrate (10), it is possible to reduce the risk of abnormalities such as cracking from occurring in the silicon carbide semiconductor substrate (10) during the production process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate, a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate, and a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device, and in particular, to a silicon carbide semiconductor having high flatness even when heat-treated at a high temperature A substrate, a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate, and a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, silicon carbide (SiC) crystals have been adopted as semiconductor substrates for manufacturing semiconductor devices. SiC has a larger bandgap than silicon (Si), which has been more widely adopted. Therefore, a semiconductor device using SiC advantageously has characteristics of high breakdown voltage, low on-resistance, and less likely to degrade in a high-temperature environment. [0003] Also, in order to efficiently manufa...
