Abstract

A method including a phosphorous ion introduction step for implanting phosphorous ions from a side of a surface Si layer into an SOI substrate in which the surface Si layer and an embedded oxide layer having a predetermined thickness are formed on an Si base material layer to convert the embedded oxide layer into a PSG layer to lower a softening point. An SiC forming step is performed by heating the SOI substrate having the PSG layer formed therein in an atmosphere of hydrocarbon-based gas to convert the surface Si layer into SiC. Thereafter, the resulting substrate is cooled to form a single crystal SiC layer on a surface thereof.
