Abstract
An epitaxial substrate includes a single-crystal substrate of silicon carbide, and an epitaxial layer of silicon carbide disposed on the single-crystal substrate. The epitaxial layer includes a first epitaxial layer disposed on the single-crystal substrate, a second epitaxial layer disposed on the first epitaxial layer, and a third epitaxial layer disposed on the second epitaxial layer. The first epitaxial layer has a basal-plane-dislocation conversion rate of less than 95%. The second epitaxial layer has a basal-plane-dislocation conversion rate of more than 98%.
