摘要： Hydrogen ions are implanted to a surface (main surface) of the single crystal Si substrate 10 at a dosage of 1.5×1017 atoms/cm2 or higher to form the hydrogen ion implanted layer (ion-implanted damage layer) 11. As a result of the hydrogen ion implantation, the hydrogen ion implanted boundary 12 is formed. The single crystal Si substrate 10 and the low melting glass substrate 20 are bonded together. The bonded substrate is heated at relatively low temperature, 120° C. or higher and 250° C. or lower (below a melting point of the support substrate). Further, an external shock is applied to delaminate the Si crystal film along the hydrogen ion implanted boundary 12 of the single crystal Si substrate 10 out of the heat-treated bonded substrate. Then, the surface of the resultant silicon thin film 13 is polished to remove a damaged portion, so that a semiconductor substrate can be fabricated. There can be provided a semiconductor substrate in which a high-quality silicon thin film is transferred onto a substrate made of a low melting point material.

摘要： A silicon layer having a conductivity type opposite to that of a bulk is provided on the surface of a silicon substrate and hydrogen ions are implanted to a predetermined depth into the surface region of the silicon substrate through the silicon layer to form a hydrogen ion-implanted layer. Then, an n-type germanium-based crystal layer whose conductivity type is opposite to that of the silicon layer and a p-type germanium-based crystal layer whose conductivity type is opposite to that of the germanium-based crystal layer are successively vapor-phase grown to provide a germanium-based crystal. The surface of the germanium-based crystal layer and the surface of the supporting substrate are bonded together. In this state, impact is applied externally to separate a silicon crystal from the silicon substrate along the hydrogen ion-implanted layer, thereby transferring a laminated structure composed of the germanium-based crystal and the silicon crystal onto the supporting substrate.

摘要： A method of manufacturing an SOQ substrate and an SOQ substrate manufactured by the same are disclosed. In the method, hydrogen ions are implanted to a surface of a single crystal Si substrate through an oxide film to uniformly form an ion implanted layer at a predetermined depth from the surface of the single crystal Si substrate, and a bonding surface of the substrate undergoes a plasma treatment or an ozone treatment. An external shock is applied onto the single crystal Si substrate and quartz substrate, which are bonded together, to mechanically delaminate a silicon film from a single crystal silicon bulk. In this way, the SOQ film is formed on the quartz substrate through the oxide film. To further smooth the SOQ film surface, hydrogen heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 1000° C. or less below a quartz glass transition point.

摘要： On the side of a surface (the bonding surface side) of a single crystal Si substrate, a uniform ion implantation layer is formed at a prescribed depth (L) in the vicinity of the surface. The surface of the single crystal Si substrate and a surface of a transparent insulating substrate as bonding surfaces are brought into close contact with each other, and bonding is performed by heating the substrates in this state at a temperature of 350° C. or below. After this bonding process, an Si—Si bond in the ion implantation layer is broken by applying impact from the outside, and a single crystal silicon thin film is mechanically peeled along a crystal surface at a position equivalent to the prescribed depth (L) in the vicinity of the surface of the single crystal Si substrate.

摘要： A method for manufacturing an SOI substrate superior in film thickness uniformity and resistivity uniformity in a substrate surface of a silicon layer having a film thickness reduced by an etch-back method is provided. After B ions is implanted into a front surface of a single-crystal Si substrate 10 to form a high-concentration boron added p layer 11 having a depth L in the outermost front surface, the single-crystal Si substrate 10 is appressed against a quartz substrate 20 to be bonded at a room temperature. Chemical etching is performed with respect to the single-crystal Si substrate 10 from a back surface thereof to set its thickness to L or below. A heat treatment is carried out with respect to an SOI substrate in a hydrogen containing atmosphere to outwardly diffuse B from the high-concentration boron added p layer 11, thereby acquiring a boron added p layer 12 having a desired resistance value. During this heat treatment, B in an Si crystal is diffused to the outside of the crystal in a state where it is coupled with hydrogen in the atmosphere, and a B concentration in the high-concentration boron added p layer 11 is reduced. In regard to a heat treatment temperature at this time, in view of a softening point of the insulative substrate, an upper limit of the heat treatment temperature is set to 1250° C., and 700° C. is selected as a lower limit of the temperature at which B can be diffused.

摘要： An object of the present invention is to provide a method by which bonding at a low temperature is possible and an amount of metal contaminants in an SOI film is decreased. An embodiment of the present invention is realized in the following manner. A single crystal silicon substrate 10 surface-activated by a plasma-treatment and a quartz substrate 20 are bonded together at a low temperature, to which an external impact is given to mechanically delaminate silicon film from a single crystal silicon bulk thereby obtaining a semiconductor substrate (SOI substrate) having a silicon film (SOI film) 12. Next, the SOI substrate is subjected to a heat-treatment at a temperature of 600° C. to 1250° C. so that metal impurities accidentally mixed into an interface of the SOI film and the quartz substrate and into the SOI film in such a step as a plasma-treatment are gettered to a surface region of the silicon film 12. Then, in the end, a surface layer (gettering layer) of the silicon film 12 of the SOI substrate after the heat-treatment is removed to finally prepare an SOI film 13 and a semiconductor substrate (SOI substrate) is obtained.
