Abstract
The present invention is aimed at providing a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer by which a plurality of silicon carbide epitaxial layers of a predetermined layer thickness can be precisely formed. In the present invention, a first n-type SiC epitaxial layer is formed on an n-type SiC substrate so that the rate of change in impurity concentration between the n-type SiC substrate and the first n-type SiC epitaxial layer will be greater than or equal to 20%. A second n-type SiC epitaxial layer is formed on the first n-type SiC epitaxial layer so that the rate of change in impurity concentration between the first n-type SiC epitaxial layer and the second n-type SiC epitaxial layer will be greater than or equal to 20%.
