Abstract

A method for annealing an SOI in which two annealing steps are followed by a cooling step. During the second annealing step, the annealing temperature is from 993° C. to the melting point of silicon. During the cooling step, the cooling rate is not less than 0.12° C./sec when a temperature is from 993° C. to 775° C.
