Abstract

A SiC epitaxial wafer including: a SiC epitaxial layer that is formed on a SiC substrate having an off angle, wherein the surface density of triangular defects, in which a distance from a starting point to an opposite side in a horizontal direction is equal to or greater than (a thickness of the SiC epitaxial layer/tan(x))×90% and equal to or less than (the thickness of the SiC epitaxial layer/tan(x))×110%, in the SiC epitaxial layer is in the range of 0.05 pieces/cm2 to 0.5 pieces/cm2 (where x indicates the off angle).
