However, since the catalyst carrier in the filter is formed of cordierite having a low melting point (1200 to 1300 ° C.), in the filter, uneven combustion of exhaust gas occurs, and a local temperature rise occurs. The catalyst support partially dissolves. Then, when the use of the diesel engine is stopped and the filter is cooled, cracks are generated in the catalyst carrier from the dissolving portion, and the function of the filter is deteriorated.

When the catalyst carrier is manufactured by the above manufacturing method, a part of the silicon carbide is oxidized on the inner surface of the hole of the porous silicon carbide sintered body, and a silica film is formed on the surface layer of the silicon carbide crystal. The oxygen concentration of the porous silicon carbide sintered body including the silica film needs to be in the range of 0.005 wt% to 2 wt%. When the oxygen concentration is less than 0.005 wt%, the silica film formed on the surface layer on the inner surface of the pores of the sintered body is thin, and when the oxide catalyst having a noble metal element is supported, the silica film peels off. Poor wettability between the oxide catalyst and the porous silicon carbide sintered body makes it difficult for the carrier to have sufficient strength. If the oxygen concentration is more than 2 wt%, the silica film becomes thicker, causing a thermal expansion mismatch with the base porous silicon carbide sintered body, resulting in a deterioration in strength. The oxygen concentration is more preferably in the range of 0.006 to 0.1 wt%.
