To prevent both slips caused by damage from projections, and slips caused by adhesive force occurring due to excessive smoothing.The heat treating apparatus includes a processing chamber for heat treating wafers and a boat for supporting the wafers in the processing chamber. The boat further includes a wafer holder in contact with the wafer and a main body for supporting the wafer holder. The wafer holder diameter is 63 to 73 percent of the wafer diameter, and the surface roughness Ra of the portion of the wafer holder in contact with the wafer is set from 1 μm to 1,000 μm. The wafer can be supported so that the amount of wafer displacement is minimal and both slips due to damage from projections on the wafer holder surface, and slips due to the adhesive force occurring because of excessive smoothing can be prevented in that state.

A thermal treatment apparatus, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and a method for manufacturing a substrate, wherein the occurrence of slip dislocation in a substrate during heat treatment is reduced, and a high-quality semiconductor device can be manufactured, are intended to be provided.A substrate support is formed from a main body portion and a supporting portion. In the main body portion, a plurality of placing portions extend parallel, and supporting portions are provided on the placing portions. A substrate is placed on the supporting portion. The supporting portion has a smaller area than an area of a flat face of the substrate, and is formed from a silicon plate having a thickness larger than thickness of the substrate, so that deformation during heat treatment is reduced. The supporting portion is made of silicon, and a layer coated with silicon carbide (SiC) is formed on a substrate-placing face of the supporting portion.

A method of producing an SOI substrate having a single-crystal silicon layer on a buried oxide layer in an electrically insulating state from the substrate by implanting oxygen ions into a single crystal silicon substrate and practicing an anneal processing in an inert gas atmosphere at high temperatures to form the buried oxide layer. After the anneal processing in which the thickness of the buried oxide layer becomes a theoretical value in conformity with the thickness of the buried oxide layer formed by the implanted oxygen, the oxidation processing of the substrate is carried out in a high temperature oxygen atmosphere.
