Abstract

The invention provides a silicon carbide wafer surface cleaning method. The silicon carbide wafer surface cleaning method comprises the following steps of: high-temperature treatment: enabling a silicon carbide wafer to be subjected to high-temperature treatment, so that an oxide layer is formed on the surface of the silicon carbide wafer; acidizing: acidizing the silicon carbide wafer subjected to high-temperature treatment to remove an oxide layer on the surface of the silicon carbide wafer; and passivation treatment: carrying out passivation treatment on the acidified silicon carbide waferso as to form a passivation layer on the surface of the silicon carbide. The cleaning method is simple and environment-friendly to operate, pollutants on the surface of the silicon carbide wafer can be quickly and effectively removed, hydrogen passivation is carried out on the surface of the wafer, and the subsequent use efficiency of the silicon carbide wafer is improved.
