<p>OF THE DISCLOSUREAn insulating layer is formed over a surface of a semiconductor wafer to be the bond substrate and irradiation with accelerated ions is performed, so that anembrittlement region is formed inside the wafer. Next, this semiconductor wafer and a base substrate such as a glass substrate or a semiconductor wafer are attached to each other. Then, the semiconductor wafer is divided at the embrittlement region by heat treatment, whereby an SOI substrate is manufactured in which a semiconductor layer is provided over the base substrate with the insulating layer interposed therebetween.Before this SOI substrate is manufactured, heat treatment is performed on the semiconductor wafer at 1100 °C or higher under a non-oxidizing atmosphere such as an argon gas atmosphere or a mixed atmosphere of an oxygen gas and a nitrogen gas.Figure 1</p> |
