Abstract

A bonded substrate and a process for its production is provided to solve the problem involved in the heat treatment which tends to cause troubles such as break, separation and warpage of the substrates bonded. A single-crystal semiconductor epitaxially grown on a porous semiconductor substrate is bonded to an insulator substrate, and the semiconductor substrate is removed by etching, grinding, or a combination of the both, where no heat treatment is carried out or, even if carried out, only once.
