Manufacturing method and apparatus for manufacturing silicon carbide epitaxial wafer

摘要

A manufacturing method for manufacturing a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer includes: introducing a cleaning gas into a growth furnace to remove dendrite-like polycrystal of silicon carbide attached to an inner wall of the growth furnace; after introducing the cleaning gas, bringing a silicon carbide substrate in the growth furnace; and growing a silicon carbide epitaxial layer on the silicon carbide substrate by introducing a processing gas into the growth furnace to manufacture a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer, wherein the cleaning gas having fluid energy of 1.6E-4 [J] or higher is introduced into the growth furnace.
