Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a bonded wafer structure capable of reducing crystal defect in a power element forming region thereof is disclosed A recess is formed in a control circuit element forming region of a first n- silicon substrate, then filled with a silicon oxide film and subjected to grinding and polishing to provide a mirror-surface. An n- epitaxial layer is formed on the surface of a second n+ silicon substrate, then the surface of the epitaxial layer is coupled to the surfaces of the silicon oxide film and second circuit region of the first substrate and heat-treated to be bonded thereto.
