Abstract
A silicon carbide semiconductor substrate includes a silicon carbide substrate of a first conductivity type, an epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type provided on a front surface of the silicon carbide substrate, an impurity concentration of the epitaxial layer being 1×10/cmto 1×10/cm, and a film thickness of the epitaxial layer being 1 μm to 5 μm. The silicon carbide semiconductor substrate further includes a buffer layer of the first conductivity type provided on a surface of a first side of the epitaxial layer opposite a second side facing the silicon carbide substrate, an impurity concentration of the buffer layer being about a same as that of the silicon carbide substrate, and a drift layer of the first conductivity type provided on a surface of a first side of the buffer layer opposite a second side facing toward the silicon carbide substrate, an impurity concentration of the drift layer being lower than that of the buffer layer.
