A method of producing a p-type SiC epitaxial wafer, the method including: a step of setting an input raw material C/Si ratio, being a ratio between the C element and the Si element in a feedstock gas; and a step of obtaining a p-type SiC epitaxial wafer having an Al dopant concentration of at least 1×10cmby forming a p-type SiC epitaxial film on a substrate in a film-forming atmosphere comprising the feedstock gas, a Cl-based gas containing Cl in the molecule, and a dopant gas containing Al and C in the molecule, wherein the input raw material C/Si ratio is set based on a total gas C/Si ratio, being a ratio between the C element and the Si element in the film-forming atmosphere containing the C element included in the dopant gas, the input raw material C/Si ratio differs from the total gas C/Si ratio, and the input raw material C/Si ratio is 0.8 or less.

P-type SiC epitaxial wafer and production method therefor

Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a compound semiconductor, which forms a compound semiconductor layer using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition method. The apparatus is characterized in that: the apparatus is provided with a reaction container, a holder, which is disposed in the reaction container and has placed thereon a subject, on which the layer is to be formed, the subject having facing up the subject surface where the layer is to be formed, and a raw material supply port, through which the raw material gas of the compound semiconductor is supplied to the inside of the reaction container from the outside; the holder is in contact with the lower surface of the subject, the contact being inside of the outer circumferential portion of the subject to the center of the upper surface of the holder; and that the holder has a supporting portion, which supports the subject such that a predetermined interval is maintained between the upper surface of the holder and the lower surface of the subject. In the manufacture of the compound semiconductor using the MOCVD method, temperature distribution on the substrate surface to be deposited with a compound semiconductor crystal, and deviation of in-plane averaged light emission wavelength from a target value are suppressed using the apparatus.
