Abstract

A method for preparing a SiC ingot includes: disposing a raw material and a SiC seed crystal facing each other in a reactor having an internal space; subliming the raw material by controlling a temperature, a pressure, and an atmosphere of the internal space; growing the SiC ingot on the seed crystal; and collecting the SiC ingot after cooling the reactor. The wafer prepared from the ingot, which is prepared from the method, generates cracks when an impact is applied to a surface of the wafer, the impact is applied by an external impact source having mechanical energy, and a minimum value of the mechanical energy is 0.194 J to 0.475 J per unit area (cm2).
