Abstract
A SiC wafer comprises a 4H polytype SiC substrate in which the crystal plane orientation is substantially {03-38}, and a buffer layer composed of SiC formed over this SiC substrate . The {03-38} plane forms an angle of approximately 35° with respect to the <0001> axial direction in which micropipes and so forth extend, so micropipes and so forth are eliminated at the crystal sides, and do not go through to an active layer on the buffer layer . Lattice mismatching between the SiC substrate and the active layer is suppressed by the buffer layer . Furthermore, anisotropy in the electron mobility is low because a 4H polytype is used. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a SiC wafer and a SiC semiconductor device with which there is little anisotropy in the electron mobility, and strain caused by lattice mismatching can be lessened, as well as a method for manufacturing these.
