Abstract: A wafer manufacturing method, an epitaxial wafer manufacturing method, and a wafer and epitaxial wafer manufactured thereby, are provided. The wafer manufacturing method enables the manufacture of a wafer with a low density of micropipe defects and minimum numbers of particles and scratches. The epitaxial wafer manufacturing method enables the manufacture of an epitaxial wafer that has low densities of defects such as downfall, triangular, and carrot defects, exhibits excellent device characteristics, and improves the yield of devices.

Abstract: A display device may include a first electrode, a second electrode, an emission layer, an intervening layer, and a first encapsulation layer. The second electrode may overlap the first electrode. The emission layer may be disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, may overlap the first electrode, and may include a light emitting material. The intervening layer may directly contact the second electrode, may be spaced from each of the first electrode and the emission layer, and may include a fluorine compound. A first section of the first encapsulation layer may overlap the emission layer. The intervening layer may be positioned between the second electrode and a second section of the first encapsulation layer.

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).
