Abstract

A method for manufacturing a bonded wafer comprises the steps of; mirror-polishing a surface of first and second substrates, bringing the mirror-polished surfaces of the substrates contact with each other to join them, and subjecting the substrates to a heat treatment to firmly bond them. One of the surfaces of the first and second substrates prior to bonding, or one surface of the bonded wafer is subjected to a polishing treatment for exerting little influence by irregularities on a rear surface of the one substrate or by a figure of a surface of a polishing plate which is in contact with the rear surface of the one substrate.
