Abstract

A method of fabricating a SOI substrate is disclosed, which includes the steps of: forming trenches in the Si substrate; forming an oxidation preventing film over the Si substrate and at the side-walls of the trenches; forming grooves at the bottoms of trenches by etching the Si substrate using the oxidation preventing film as a mask; carrying out an oxidation using to form an oxide film and a Si device layer isolated by the oxide film; removing the oxidation preventing film; and carrying out a planarization to form the silicon-on-insulator substrate having a planar surface.
