Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing an epitaxial wafer in which an epitaxial layer is grown over a main surface of a silicon wafer placed substantially horizontally on a susceptor is provided. The method comprises: a growing step of the epitaxial layer; and a cooling step of cooling the epitaxial wafer having the epitaxial layer. The cooling step comprises: a wafer measurement step of measuring a temperature of the epitaxial wafer; a susceptor measurement step of measuring a temperature of the susceptor; and a control step of controlling a heater capable of heating at least the susceptor or the epitaxial wafer such that difference between a temperature of the epitaxial wafer and a temperature of the susceptor is within a predetermined range.
