ABSTRACT:
This method for manufacturing an SOI wafer includes: a step of subjecting a mirror-polished active layer wafer to a rapid thermal annealing treatment; a step of forming insulating films in a front surface and a rear surface of the active layer wafer; a step of bonding the active layer wafer and a support wafer with the insulating film therebetween so as to form a bonded wafer; a step of loading the bonded wafer on a wafer boat in a state such that a portion of the active layer wafer is in contact with the wafer boat, and then subjecting the bonded wafer to a heat treatment for bonding enhancement which enhances a bonding strength between the active layer wafer and the support wafer in the bonded wafer; and a step of thinning a portion of the active layer wafer.
