Abstract

A method for producing a piezoelectric composite substrate having a single-crystal thin film of a piezoelectric material includes an ion-implantation step and a separation step. In the ion-implantation step, He+ ions are implanted into the single-crystal base made of the piezoelectric material to form localized microcavities in a separation layer located inside the single-crystal base and apart from a surface of the single-crystal base. In the separation step, the microcavities formed in the ion-implantation step are subjected to thermal stress to divide the separation layer of the piezoelectric single-crystal base, thereby detaching the single-crystal thin film.
