Abstract: In the present invention, a chemical-vapor-deposition silicon carbide (SIC) bulk having an improved etching characteristic includes silicon carbide (SIC) manufactured by a chemical vapor deposition method using MTS (methyltrichlorosilane), hydrogen (H2), and nitrogen (N2) gases. The SIC manufactured by the chemical vapor deposition method is ?-SiC (3C-SiC), and 6H-SiC is present in the SIC manufactured by the chemical vapor deposition method. Five peaks having a reference code of 03-065-0360 and a peak having a reference code of 00-049-1428 are confirmed to be present from XRD analysis of the silicon carbide bulk, and a nitrogen concentration value is 4.0×1018 atoms/cm3 or more at a depth of 1,500 nm or more from the surface of the bulk, which is a metastable layer.
