Abstract
A silicon carbide epitaxial substrate includes a silicon carbide substrate, a silicon carbide epitaxial film. The silicon carbide epitaxial film is on the silicon carbide substrate. The first extended defect is in the silicon carbide epitaxial film. The first extended defect includes a particle, a triangular defect extending from the particle along an off-direction, and a basal plane dislocation originating from the particle and having a portion extending along a direction perpendicular to each of a thickness direction of the silicon carbide substrate and the off-direction. In the direction perpendicular to each of the thickness direction of the silicon carbide substrate and the off-direction, an extended width of the basal plane dislocation is twice or more a base width of the triangular defect. In a second main surface, an area density of the basal plane dislocation included in the first extended defect is 3/cmor less.
