PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an SOI substrate with high throughput. SOLUTION: A semiconductor layer separated from a semiconductor substrate is transferred to a supporting substrate, thereby manufacturing an SOI substrate. First, the semiconductor substrate serving as a base of the semiconductor layer is prepared. An embrittlement layer is formed in a region at a prescribed depth of the semiconductor substrate, and an insulating layer is formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate. After bonding the semiconductor substrate and a supporting substrate with the insulating layer interposed therebetween, the semiconductor substrate is selectively irradiated with a laser beam; accordingly, embrittlement of the embrittlement layer progresses. Then, using a physical method or heat treatment, the semiconductor substrate is separated; at that time, the region where the embrittlement has progressed in the embrittlement layer serves as a starting point.
