Abstract

A method for producing a silicon film-transferred insulator wafer is disclosed. The method includes a surface activation step of performing a surface activation treatment on at least one of a surface of an insulator wafer and a hydrogen ion-implanted surface of a single crystal silicon wafer into which a hydrogen ion has been implanted to form a hydrogen ion-implanted layer; a bonding step that bonds the hydrogen ion-implanted surface to the surface of the insulator wafer to obtain bonded wafers; a first heating step that heats the bonded wafers; a grinding and/or etching step of grinding and/or etching a surface of a single crystal silicon wafer side of the bonded wafers; a second heating step that heats the bonded wafers; and a detachment step to detach the hydrogen ion-implanted layer by applying a mechanical impact to the hydrogen ion-implanted layer of the bonded wafers thus heated at the second temperature.
