Abstract
In a method for manufacturing an epitaxial wafer by which an epitaxial layer is formed on a surface of a silicon wafer arranged in a reactor by distributing a raw material gas in the reactor, a temperature of a susceptor at the time of carrying the silicon wafer into the reactor is adjusted in accordance with a resistivity of the silicon wafer. There is provided the method for manufacturing an epitaxial wafer, the method enabling reduction in generation of particles from friction of a back surface edge portion and the susceptor due to warpage of the wafer caused at the time of carriage into the reactor and occurrence of scratches on the silicon wafer back surface edge portion without requiring a complicated apparatus.
