ABSTRACT:
A method for producing a semiconductor wafer, including epitaxially growing a Si1-XGeXlayer (0<X≦1) on a surface of a silicon single crystal wafer to be a bond wafer; implanting at least one kind of a hydrogen ion or a rare gas ion through the Si1-XGeXlayer and forming an ion-implanted layer inside the bond wafer; contacting and bonding a surface of the Si1-XGeXlayer and a surface of a base wafer through an insulator film; then performing delamination at the ion-implanted layer; performing a bonding heat treatment of binding the bonded surfaces; and then removing a Si layer of a delaminated layer transferred to a side of the base wafer by the delamination. Thereby, the method does not cause lattice relaxation in the SiGe layer. Therefore, the method is suitable for production of a semiconductor wafer for high-speed semiconductor devices.
