An epitaxial wafer capable of removing impurities and oxide layers thereon having a high dielectric strength is disclosed. A substrate wafer 1 in which laser-scattering centers have a density of higher than 5x106/cm3 is provided. An epitaxial layer 3 is formed by epitaxial growth on a completely clean surface of the substrate. The surface of the epitaxial layer consists of a non-defect layer which is provided for device active regions. Moreover, a high density of laser-scattering centers are distributed near the interface of the epitaxial layer and the substrate wafer and the interior of the substrate, thus providing for a wafer capable of removing impurities. |
