technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor material manufacturing, in particular to a method for improving the carrier lifetime of a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer. Background technique [0002] Compared with the traditional semiconductor materials represented by silicon and gallium arsenide, silicon carbide, as a wide bandgap semiconductor material, has outstanding advantages such as high thermal conductivity, high breakdown electric field, high saturation electron drift rate and high bonding energy. The performance can meet the requirements of modern electronic technology for high temperature, high frequency, high power and radiation resistance. Due to the characteristics of conductance modulation, silicon carbide bipolar devices can achieve ultra-high withstand voltage and ultra-low on-resistance. Especially suitable for power electronics applications in high voltage and ultra high voltage fields. [0003] Both the silicon carbi...
