SiC wafer defect measuring method, reference sample, and method of manufacturing SiC epitaxial wafer

摘要

A SiC wafer defect measuring method which includes a device management step of managing a defect measuring device by irradiating a reference sample made of a material having a light-emitting intensity that does not change with repeated irradiation by excitation light and which has a pattern made of recesses and/or protrusions in the surface, the irradiation by the excitation light being performed before measuring defects in a SiC wafer and under the same irradiation conditions as the measurement of the defects in the SiC wafer, and then measuring the S/N ratio of the pattern from a reflection image of the pattern.
