Epitaxially coated silicon wafers are produced by placing a wafer polished on its front side on a susceptor in an epitaxy reactor, first pretreating under a hydrogen atmosphere and in a second and a third step with addition of an etching medium to the hydrogen atmosphere, and subsequently providing an epitaxial layer, wherein during the first and second steps the hydrogen flow rate is 20-100 slm, during the second and third steps the flow rate of the etching medium is 0.5-1.5 slm, during the second step the average temperature in the reactor chamber is 950-1050° C., and the power of heating elements above and below the susceptor is regulated such that there is a temperature difference of 5-30° C. between a radially symmetrical region encompassing the central axis of and a part lying outside this region; and during the third step the hydrogen flow rate is reduced to 0.5-10 slm. In a second method, during the third pretreatment step the flow rate of the etching medium is increased to 1.5-5 slm, while the hydrogen flow rate does not have to be reduced.
