By reducing the squeezing rate of crystal grains smaller than m,
It is considered that unevenness of the orientation of the (111) plane was prevented. For example, if there are many coarse particles, a region in which the crystal orientation is locally disordered is likely to occur around the particle, and this region may be a starting point of corrosion. In addition, it is considered that even when there are many particles having too small a particle diameter, the crystal orientation tends to be uneven.

The method for measuring the particle size will be described. A surface scanning electron microscope photograph at a magnification of 1000 is taken from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the silicon carbide film. While maintaining the field of view, the vertical and horizontal dimensions of this photograph are doubled to obtain a test photograph. Draw five or more arbitrary straight lines on the test photograph. For each particle passing through this straight line, the intersection of the grain boundary of each particle and the straight line is specified. Since there are usually two intersections for each particle, the distance between the two intersections is measured for each particle, and this distance is defined as the particle size.

The results in Table 1 were obtained by the following procedure. That is, the sample was cut into 10 × 10 × 5 without processing the film-forming surface, and the sample was cut with a scanning electron microscope (HITACHI S-225).
0N) Photograph the film surface with the secondary electron image 1000 times vertically perpendicular to the sample, magnify the dimensions of the photograph by 2 times both vertically and horizontally, and image the diagonal line at the four corners and the line segment passing through the intersection of the diagonal lines. The distance between the intersections was measured with a grease that marks the intersections of these line segments, and the grain boundary was determined as the particle size.
