SIC EPITAXIAL WAFER, MANUFACTURING APPARATUS OF SIC EPITAXIAL WAFER, FABRICATION METHOD OF SIC EPITAXIAL WAFER, AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

A SiC epitaxial wafer includes: a substrate having an off angle of less than 4 degrees; and a SiC epitaxial growth layer disposed on the substrate having the off angle of less than 4 degrees, wherein an Si compound is used for a supply source of Si, and a C compound is used as a supply source of C, for the SiC epitaxial growth layer, wherein the uniformity of carrier density is less than 10%, and the defect density is less than 1 count/cm²; and a C/Si ratio of the Si compound and the C (carbon) compound is within a range of 0.7 to 0.95. There is provide a high-quality SiC epitaxial wafer excellent in film thickness uniformity and uniformity of carrier density, having the small number of surface defects, and capable of reducing costs, also in low-off angle SiC substrates on SiC epitaxial growth.
