Abstract

A silicon carbide single crystal includes: threading dislocations each of which having a dislocation line extending through a C-plane, and a Burgers vector including at least a component in a C-axis direction. In addition, a density of the threading dislocations having angles, each of which is formed by an orientation of the Burgers vector and an orientation of the dislocation line, larger than 0° and within 40° is set to 300 dislocations/cm2 or less. Furthermore, a density of the threading dislocations having the angles larger than 40° is set to 30 dislocations/cm2 or less.
