Abstract

The wafer having a retardation distribution measured with a light having a wavelength of 520 nm, wherein an average value of the retardation is 38 nm or less, wherein the wafer comprises a micropipe, and wherein a density of the micropipe is 1.5/cm 2 or less, is disclosed.

Claims (14)

1. A wafer having a retardation distribution measured with a light having a wavelength of 520 nm,

wherein an average value of the retardation is 38 nm or less,

wherein the wafer comprises a micropipe, and

wherein a density of the micropipe is 1.5/cm 2 or less.

2. The wafer of claim 1 comprising two sides opposite to each other, and an entire Ra average roughness of at least one of the two sides may be less than 0.3 nm.

3. The wafer of claim 1 , wherein the wafer has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of 30 arcsec or less in a rocking curve according to XRD analysis.

4. The wafer of claim 1 , wherein the wafer has a diameter of 4 inches or more, and comprises a silicon carbide having 4H structure.

5. A wafer having a retardation distribution measured with a light having a wavelength of 520 nm,

wherein a maximum value of the retardation is 60 nm or less,

wherein the wafer comprises a micropipe, and

wherein a density of the micropipe is 1.5/cm 2 or less.

6. The wafer of claim 5 comprising two sides opposite to each other, and an entire Ra average roughness of at least one of the two sides may be less than 0.3 nm.

7. The wafer of claim 5 , wherein the wafer has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of 30 arcsec or less in a rocking curve according to XRD analysis.

8. The wafer of claim 5 , wherein the wafer has a diameter of 4 inches or more, and comprises a silicon carbide having 4H structure.
