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 heating plate having a smooth surface is placed on a hot plate which constitutes a heating section, and the smooth surface of the heating plate is closely adhered on the rear surface of a single-crystal Si substrate bonded to a transparent insulating substrate. The temperature of the heating plate is kept at 200° C. or higher but not higher than 350° C. When the rear surface of the single-crystal Si substrate bonded to the insulating substrate is closely adhered on the heating plate, the single-crystal Si substrate is heated by thermal conduction, and a temperature difference is generated between the single-crystal Si substrate and the transparent insulating substrate. A large stress is generated between the both substrates due to rapid expansion of the single-crystal Si substrate, thus separation takes place at a hydrogen ion-implanted interface.

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： To obtain a semiconductor substrate having a high-quality Ge-based epitaxial film in a large area, a SiGe mixed crystal buffer layer and a Ge epitaxial film is grown on a main surface of a Si substrate 10. Although high-density defects are introduced in the Ge epitaxial film 11 from an interface between the Ge epitaxial film 11 and the Si substrate 10, the Ge epitaxial film is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of not less than 700° C. and not more than 900° C. to cause threading dislocations 12 to change into dislocation-loop defects 12′ near the interface between the Ge epitaxial film 11 and the Si substrate. A main surface of at least one of the Ge epitaxial film 11 with an ion implanted layer and a support substrate 20 is then subjected to a plasma treatment or ozone treatment for the purpose of surface cleaning, surface activation, and the like, after which the main surfaces of the Ge epitaxial film 11 and the support substrate 20 are appressed against and bonded to each other with their surfaces being determined as the joint surfaces. An external impact is then applied to the bonding interface, causing the Ge epitaxial film to be delaminated along a hydrogen ion implanted interface 13, thus obtaining a Ge thin film 14. A surface of the Ge thin film 14 is subsequently subjected to a final surface treatment (for example, CMP) to remove the damage caused by the hydrogen ion implantation, thus resulting in a GeOI substrate having the Ge thin film 14 on the surface thereof.
