Abstract: The present invention provides a method of processing a substrate and a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate in which, when annealing processing is performed on a crystalline silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, the occurrence of surface roughness is suppressed. A substrate processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of performing plasma irradiation on a single crystal silicon carbide (SiC) substrate (1) and a step of performing high temperature heating processing on the single crystal silicon carbide (SiC) substrate (1) in which the plasma irradiation is performed.
