Abstract

A process for producing a semiconductor substrate comprises the steps of forming a porous layer in a first substrate comprising monocrystalline silicon; forming a protective film on a side wall of the pores of the porous layer; forming a nonporous monocrystalline silicon layer on the porous layer; bonding the surface of the nonporous monocrystalline silicon layer onto a second substrate with interposition of an insulating layer; and etching off selectively the porous layer by use of a chemical etching solution.
