ABSTRACT:
A SIMOX wafer having a BOX layer with a thin film thickness is obtained without a reduction in productivity or deterioration in quality. In a method for manufacturing a SIMOX wafer comprising: a step of forming a first ion-implanted layer in a silicon wafer; a step of forming a second ion-implanted layer that is in an amorphous state; and a high-temperature heat treatment step of maintaining the wafer in an oxygen contained atmosphere at a temperature that is not lower than 1300° C. but less than a silicon melting point for 6 to 36 hours to change the first and the second ion-implanted layers into a BOX layer, a gas containing chlorine that is not less than 0.1 volume % but less than 1.0 volume % is mixed into an atmosphere during temperature elevation in the high-temperature heat treatment.
