Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing a heteroepitaxial wafer heteroepitaxially growing a 3C-SiC single crystal film on a single crystal silicon substrate, the method including: with using a reduced-pressure CVD apparatus, a first step of removing a native oxide film on a surface of the single crystal silicon substrate by hydrogen baking; a second step of nucleation of SiC on the single crystal silicon substrate on a condition of pressure of 13332 Pa or lower and a temperature of 300° C. or higher and 950° C. or lower and a third step of forming the 3C-SiC single crystal film by growing a SiC single crystal on condition of pressure of 13332 Pa or lower and a temperature of 800° C. or higher and lower than 1200° C., while supplying a source gas containing carbon and silicon into the reduced-pressure CVD apparatus. This provides the method for producing the heteroepitaxial wafer that can efficiently grow high-quality 3C-SiC single crystal film heteroepitaxially on the single crystal silicon substrate.
