What is the importance for off-cut a crystal wafers?. In 4H- SiC wafers, they mentioned as 4 degree off- cutted. Why this is needed?

The growth axis of SiC crystal is c-axis(0001) plane, and it is off-cutted 4 degree in direction (mostly for 4H- SiC). What is the meaning and importance of this off cut. If I take...
