1. A method for preparing a semiconductor substrate with an insulating buried layer by a gettering process, comprising the following steps of:
providing a device substrate and a supporting substrate; forming an insulating layer on a surface of the device substrate; performing a heating treatment on the device substrate, so as to form a denuded zone on the surface of the device substrate, wherein the step of performing the heating treatment on the device substrate further comprises a first heating treatment step for forming a crystal zone on the surface of the device substrate; and a second heating treatment step in which a temperature is lower than a temperature in the first heating treatment step, such that nucleation of saturated oxygen elements outside the denuded zone of the device substrate occurs, and wherein a highest, temperature in the second heating treatment step is lower than or equal to a lowest temperature in the first heating treatment step; bonding the device substrate having the insulating layer with the supporting substrate, such that the insulating layer is sandwiched between the device substrate and the supporting substrate; annealing and, reinforcing a bonding interface by performing a third heating treatment for making the nucleation of the oxygen elements in the second heating treatment step form a larger oxygen precipitation to getter metal impurities in the denuded zone, such that an adherence level, of the bonding interface meets requirements in the following chamfering grinding, thinning and polishing processes, wherein a lowest temperature in the third heating treatment step is higher than or equal to a highest temperature in the second heating treatment step; and performing the chamfering grinding, thinning and polishing processes on the device substrate which is bonded, such that the remained device substrate is totally composed of the denuded zone.
