That is, silicon carbide substrate 9 that does not include carbon inclusions can be manufactured.
- Another method for suppressing the scattering of the carbon powder is to make the average particle diameter (D50) of the carbon powder more than twice the average particle diameter (D50) of the silicon carbide powder.
- the average particle diameter (D50) can be measured with a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring apparatus.
- the ratio of the carbon powder to the silicon carbide powder may be, for example, 5% or less by weight. Even if the ratio of the carbon powder is larger than 5%, the increase in the effect of reducing the carbon vacancies is small, while there is a risk that defects due to carbon increase.
