Abstract

A SiC single crystal substrate of an embodiment has a diameter being 199 mm or more, wherein the density of threading dislocations per area of 0.25 mm 2 arbitrarily selected in the main surface of the SiC single crystal substrate is 5×10 4 /cm 2 or less, and the threading dislocations include a threading edge dislocation.

Claims (6)

1 . A SiC single crystal substrate, wherein a diameter of the SiC single crystal substrate is 199 mm or more, a density of threading dislocations per area of 0.25 mm 2 is 5×10 4 /cm 2 or less in very unit area, which is 0.25 mm 2 of a main surface of the SiC single crystal substrate, and the threading dislocations consist of threading edge dislocations and threading screw dislocations.

2 . The SiC single crystal substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the density of threading dislocations is 2.2×10 4 /cm 2 or less.

3 . The SiC single crystal substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the density of threading dislocations is 1.0×10 4 /cm 2 or less.

4 . The SiC single crystal substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a blackness in photoluminescence (PL) emission obtained using an excitation wavelength of 313 nm and a light-receiving wavelength of 660 nm or more is 5.3 or less.

5 . The SiC single crystal substrate according to claim 2 , wherein a blackness in PL emission obtained using an excitation wavelength of 313 nm and a light-receiving wavelength of 660 nm or more is 3.8 or less.

6 . The SiC single crystal substrate according to claim 3 , wherein a blackness in PL emission obtained using an excitation wavelength of 313 nm and a light-receiving wavelength of 660 nm or more is 2.4 or less.
