Abstract
A silicon carbide substrate has a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface. The silicon carbide substrate includes screw dislocations and pits having a maximum diameter of 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less in a direction parallel to the first main surface. When the screw dislocations and the pits are observed in the first main surface, a percentage obtained by dividing a number of the pits by a number of the screw dislocations is 1% or less. A concentration of magnesium in the first main surface is less than 1×10atoms/cm.
