Abstract

The HF defect density in an SOI is reduced. An SOI having a thickness of 200 nm or less is annealed in an inert atmosphere at a temperature between the eutectic temperature (e.g., 966° C.) of a semiconductor metal compound (e.g., nickel silicide) formed from a metal and the semiconductor material of the crystal semiconductor of the SOI (inclusive) and the melting point of the semiconductor material (inclusive).
