Abstract
The present invention provides a semiconductor structure which includes at least a p-type silicon carbide single crystal layer having an α-type crystal structure, containing aluminum at impurity concentration of 1×1019 cm−3 or higher, and having thickness of 50 μm or greater. Further provided is a method for producing the semiconductor structure of the present invention which method includes at least epitaxial growth step of introducing silicon carbide source and aluminum source and epitaxially growing p-type silicon carbide single crystal layer over a base layer made of silicon carbide single crystal having α-type crystal structure, wherein the epitaxial growth step is performed at temperature conditions of from 1,500° C. to 1,700° C., and pressure conditions of from 5×103 Pa to 25×103 Pa.
