Abstract

A method for manufacturing a bonded wafer, in which when a bonded wafer is manufactured using an ion implantation separation method, impurities attached in the ion implantation step can be removed effectively, and less failure called a void is generated on the bonding surface.Impurities such as particles or organic substances attached in ion implantation step (c) are removed using a physical removal method (d). The surface of a first wafer (1) subjected to impurities removal is closely contacted onto the surface of a second wafer (2) for heat treatment (e). The first wafer is separated in a thin-film form at a micro bubble layer (f).
