A plurality of single crystal semiconductor substrates having a rectangular shape are disposed on a tray. Depression portions are provided in the tray so that the single crystal semiconductor substrates can fit in. The single crystal semiconductor substrates disposed on the tray are doped with hydrogen ions, so that damaged regions are formed at a desired depth. A bonding layer is formed on surfaces of the single crystal semiconductor substrates. The plurality of single crystal semiconductor substrates in each of which the damaged region is formed and on which the bonding layer is formed are disposed on the tray and bonded to the base substrate. By heat treatment, the single crystal semiconductor substrates are separated at the damaged regions; accordingly, a plurality of single crystal semiconductor layers which are thinned are formed over the base substrate; |
