Abstract

A silicon carbide semiconductor substrate includes: a base substrate that has a main surface having an outer diameter of not less than 100 mm and that is made of single-crystal silicon carbide; and an epitaxial layer formed on the main surface. The silicon carbide semiconductor substrate has an amount of warpage of not less than −100 μm and not more than 100 μm when a substrate temperature is a room temperature and has an amount of warpage of not less than −1.5 mm and not more than 1.5 mm when the substrate temperature is 400° C.
