Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wafer adaptable to a terahertz electromagnetic wave having shorter-lived carriers, a device for detecting terahertz generation, and a method of manufacturing them. SOLUTION: In the wafer adaptable to a terahertz electromagnetic wave 11, a number of As clusters 26 are precipitated in the vicinity of a surface 11a. The As cluster 26 is known to function as a trapping center, and it is in particular known that As clusters 26 in the vicinity of the surface 11a largely contribute to carrier trapping. An epitaxial layer 16 contains oxygen, by which deep levels are formed. Since As clusters 26 in the vicinity of the surface 11a of the epitaxial layer 16 are significantly increased, and oxygen is contained in the epitaxial layer 16, the wafer adaptable to a terahertz electromagnetic wave 11 can realize shorter-lived carriers.
