Abstract
This method of producing a SiC epitaxial wafer having an epitaxial layer on a SiC single crystal substrate, and includes: when performing crystal growth of the epitaxial layer, a step of forming a part of an epitaxial layer under first conditions at an initial stage where the crystal growth is started; and a step of forming a part of a SiC epitaxial layer under second conditions in which a Cl/Si ratio is decreased and a C/Si ratio is increased in comparison to those in the first conditions, wherein the C/Si ratio is equal to or less than 0.6 and the Cl/Si ratio is equal to or more than 5.0 in the first conditions.
