- the production of the SOI wafer 11 by the smart cut method according to the present embodiment is performed by steps shown in FIG.
- silicon wafers single-sided mirror wafers grown from CZ method and sliced from a single-crystal silicon ingot with boron as a dopant were used.
- One of these silicon wafers 18 is a wafer 10 for an active layer, and the other is a wafer 20 for a support. Then, as shown in the step S102 of FIG. 1, a silicon oxide film (SiO 2) 12a is formed on the surface of the silicon layer 18 which becomes the active layer wafer 10.
- SiO 2 silicon oxide film
- the silicon oxide film 12a is formed by charging a silicon wafer into an oxidation furnace and heating it to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. At this time, the thickness of the formed silicon oxide film 12a is 150 nm.
- the active layer wafer 10 on which the silicon oxide film 12a is formed is set in a vacuum chamber of the ion implantation apparatus. Then, as shown in step S103 of FIG. 1, a predetermined dose of hydrogen ion is implanted from the surface (mirror side) of the active layer wafer 10 through the silicon oxide film 12a. Hydrogen ions are implanted from the surface of the active layer wafer 10 to a predetermined depth, and as a result, the ion implanted layer 14 is injected into the active layer wafer 10 at a predetermined depth position (a predetermined depth range in the silicon substrate). Is formed.

- the bonded wafer 30 is composed of the SOI wafer 11 in which the SOI layer 13 (part of the active layer wafer 10) is laminated on the supporting wafer 20 via the silicon oxide film 12b, and the remaining active layer wafer 10
- the steps up to this point are the same as those in the general method of manufacturing SII wafer 11 by the smart cut method.
- the flattening heat treatment is performed on the SII wafer 11 after the peeling heat treatment, as shown in step S106 of FIG.

As a result, the SOI layer surface (peeled surface) of the SOI wafer 11 is flattened. The crystal state of the wafer surface before peeling has a normal single-crystal structure, but the crystal state of the wafer surface after peeling has a disordered crystal lattice because the wafer surface is damaged by peeling.

- the good description of the flattening in Table 1 indicates that the RMS value of the surface of the bonded wafer 30 before the flattening heat treatment has been improved to approximately 0.1 ⁇ (2 ⁇ 2 ⁇ ). On the other hand, an insufficient description in the table indicates that the RMS value has not been improved to approximately 0.1 nm (2 ⁇ 2/1 m).
- a good description of the bond strengthening in Table 1 indicates that, after bonding, the active layer ⁇ wafer 10 and the supporting ⁇ wafer 20 after bonding are not separated by a known method after bonding, and an insufficient description is contrary. Is shown.
- Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Figure 2 shows that the peeling heat treatment at 500 ° C, the planarization heat treatment at 1100 ° C, and the oxidizing treatment at 650 ° C are performed consecutively in the same furnace.
- the oxide film 40 is removed by, for example, HF etching. This makes the thickness of the SOI layer 13 uniform and thin.

- the oxide film 40 is removed by etching with an HF solution (step shown in S308 of FIG. 3).
- a good description of the result of thinning in Table 2 indicates that the thickness of the SOI layer having a predetermined thickness (500 nm) was reduced to 100 nm after the planarization heat treatment. Insufficient description indicates that the film thickness is not reduced to 100 nm.
- a good description of planarization indicates that the RMS value has been improved to approximately 0.1 nm or less (2 ⁇ 2 ⁇ m).
- a somewhat good description indicates that the RMS value of a part of the wafer surface has been improved to about 0.1 nm or less (2 ⁇ 2 ⁇ m).
- an insufficient description in the table indicates that the RMS value has not been improved to approximately 0.1 nm or less (2 ⁇ 2 ⁇ m).
- the description of the uniformity of the thickness of the S ⁇ I layer 13 has the same meaning as the above-mentioned flattening.
- the peeled SOI wafer 11 is subjected to a flattening heat treatment in an argon gas atmosphere at a temperature of 1100 ° C. to 1350 ° C., and then an oxidation treatment. Thereafter, by removing the oxide film 40, the thickness of the SOI layer 13 was made uniform. It has been clarified that the thickness of the SOI layer 13 can be reduced. Conversely, if the SOI wafer is oxidized without performing the flattening heat treatment in an inert gas atmosphere, thinning is possible, but the effect of flattening is small. The RMS value of the wafer surface> 0.1 ⁇ (2 ⁇ 2 ⁇ ), and the surface roughness required for device fabrication cannot be obtained.
- the manufacturing method of the SI II wafer 11 according to the present embodiment is the same as the manufacturing method of the SI II wafer 11 according to the second embodiment, except that the following changes are made. That is, an oxide film 40 is formed on the SOI wafer after the planarization heat treatment (step S406 in FIG. 4), and after the oxide film 40 is removed, an oxidation process is performed again to form a predetermined thickness on the surface of the SOI layer 13. This means that the oxide film 40 is formed, and then the oxide film 40 is removed. That is, the oxidizing process and the process of removing the oxide film 40 are performed twice.
- the steps from S401 in FIG. 4 to S408 in FIG. 4 are the same as the steps from S301 in FIG. 3 to S308 in FIG.
- the SOI wafer 11 is subjected to a wet oxidation treatment at 650 ° C. for 1 hour in an oxidizing gas atmosphere, so that the surface of the SOI layer 13 has a predetermined thickness.
- An oxide film 40 is formed.
- the oxide film 40 is removed by, for example, HF etching.
- the above series of steps (oxidation treatment and HF etching) is not limited to two times, and may be performed three times or more.
- the SOI wafer is oxidized and oxidized.
- the step of removing the oxide film 40 by, for example, HF etching is repeated, so that the SOI layer 13 is made thinner.
- step S409 in FIG. 4 After the oxidation treatment (step S409 in FIG. 4) and the etching (step S410 in FIG. 4), a bonding heat treatment (step S411 in FIG. 4) and surface finish polishing (step S412 in FIG. 4) are performed.
- the surface of the SOI layer can be thinned by grinding and mirror polishing.
- the SOI layer 13 was easily thinned to less than 100 nm, and the surface roughness was improved to 0.1 nm or less.
- Other steps are the same as in Example 1.
