Abstract

A high quality bonded substrate is obtained in which generation of microprotrusions and cracked particles are restricted on a surface of an active layer of the bonded substrate and the surface of the active layer is flattened. A laminated body is formed by overlapping a first semiconductor substrate serving as an active layer onto a second semiconductor substrate serving as a support substrate via an oxide film or without an oxide film; the active layer is formed by forming a thin film from the first semiconductor substrate; and the surface of the active layer is flattened by vapor-phase etching. After forming a thin film from the first semiconductor substrate and before flattening the surface of the active layer by the vapor-phase etching, an organic substance adhering to the surface of the active layer is removed and a native oxide film generated on the surface of the active layer is removed after removing the organic substance.
