Abstract

A method for producing a bonded wafer by the ion implantation delamination method includes at least a step of bonding a bond wafer having a micro bubble layer formed by gaseous ion implantation and a base wafer serving as a support substrate and a step of delaminating the bond wafer at the micro bubble layer as a border to form a thin film on the base wafer. After the delamination of the bond wafer, the bonded wafer is subjected to a heat treatment in an atmosphere of an inert gas, hydrogen or a mixed gas thereof, then the bonded wafer is subjected to thermal oxidation to form a thermal oxide film on the surface of the thin film, and then the thermal oxide film is removed to reduce thickness of the thin film.
