Abstract

A plurality of grooves are formed in a SiC substrate consisting of an n.sup.- -type epitaxial layer and a p-type epitaxial layer layered on the surface of an n.sup.+ -type monocrystalline SiC semiconductor substrate. These grooves are formed in a grid on the SiC substrate. Heat treatment is then carried out to straighten warp of the SiC substrate caused by the growth of the epitaxial layers.
