A method of manufacturing a semiconductor substrate comprises: forming a first mono crystalline semiconductor layer in a portion having a mono crystalline area exposed on an active surface side of a mono crystalline semiconductor base material, the first mono crystalline semiconductor layer being made of a mono crystalline material having an etching selectivity greater than an etching selectivity of the semiconductor base material, and simultaneously forming a first polycrystalline semiconductor layer in a portion where a coated material has been formed in the mono crystalline area, the first polycrystalline semiconductor layer being made of a polycrystalline material; forming a second mono crystalline semiconductor layer in an area covering the first mono crystalline semiconductor layer, the second mono crystalline semiconductor layer being made of a mono crystalline material having an etching selectivity less than an etching selectivity of the material of the first mono crystalline semiconductor layer, and simultaneously forming a second polycrystalline semiconductor layer in an area covering the first polycrystalline semiconductor layer, the second polycrystalline semiconductor layer being made of a polycrystalline material; forming a support hole exposing the semiconductor base by partially removing and opening the second mono crystalline semiconductor layer and the first mono crystalline semiconductor layer located in vicinity of an element region formed of part of the second mono crystalline semiconductor layer; forming a support forming layer on the active surface side of the semiconductor base material so as to fill the support hole and the element region and to cover the second polycrystalline semiconductor layer; performing etching, leaving behind at least part of the second polycrystalline semiconductor layer serving as an etch stop layer, and the support hole and the element region, thereby forming an opening surface to expose the support and part of an end of the first mono crystalline semiconductor layer and part of an end of the second mono crystalline semiconductor layer, the first mono crystalline semiconductor layer and the second mono crystalline semiconductor layer being positioned between the semiconductor base material and the support; forming a cavity between the second mono crystalline semiconductor layer constituting the element region and the semiconductor base material by selectively etching the first mono crystalline semiconductor layer through the opening surface; forming a buried insulating layer in the cavity; forming a planarizing insulating layer on the active surface side of the semiconductor base material; planarizing the active surface side of the semiconductor base material using the second polycrystalline semiconductor layer as an etch stop layer and thereafter exposing the second mono crystalline semiconductor layer; and removing the second polycrystalline semiconductor layer and the first polycrystalline semiconductor layer.
