Abstract

A SiC epitaxial wafer includes a SiC epitaxial layer formed on a SiC single crystal substrate, in which a total density of large-pit defects caused by micropipes in the substrate and large-pit defects caused by substrate carbon inclusions, both of which are contained in the SiC epitaxial layer, is 1 defect/cm 2 or less.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A SiC epitaxial wafer comprising a SiC epitaxial layer formed on a SiC single crystal substrate,
 wherein a total density of large-pit defects caused by micropipes in the substrate and large-pit defects caused by substrate carbon inclusions, both of which are contained in the SiC epitaxial layer, is 1 defect/cm 2  or less.   
     
     
         2 . A SiC epitaxial wafer according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein a density of the large-pit defects caused by micropipes in the substrate is 0.5 defect/cm 2  or less.   
     
     
         3 . A method of manufacturing a SiC epitaxial wafer in which a SiC epitaxial layer is formed on a single crystal substrate, the method comprising:
 a step of selecting a SiC single crystal substrate in which a total density of micropipes and substrate carbon inclusions in the SiC single crystal substrate is 1 defect/cm 2  or less.
