Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a silicon carbide substrate having a low defect density that does not contaminate a process device and a silicon carbide semiconductor device including the silicon carbide substrate. A silicon carbide substrate according to the present invention is a silicon carbide substrate including: a substrate inner portion; and a substrate outer portion surrounding the substrate inner portion, wherein non-dopant metal impurity concentration of the substrate inner portion is 1×1016 cm−3 or more, and a region of the substrate outer portion at least on a surface side thereof is a substrate surface region in which the non-dopant metal impurity concentration is less than 1×1016 cm−3.
