Patent ID: 10763157

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an SOI wafer, including steps of: bonding a bond wafer and a base wafer each composed of a silicon wafer at room temperature with a silicon oxide film interposed therebetween; a thinning the bond wafer; and before the bonding step, cleaning the wafers with a hydrophilic cleaning liquid and drying the cleaned wafers by suction drying or spin drying. After the drying step is ended and before the bonding step is started, the wafers are stored until a state where a bonding speed at which the bonding step is to be performed is 20 mm/second or less. The bonding is performed with the bonding speed of 20 mm/second or less. This provides a method for manufacturing an SOI wafer by which an SOI wafer can be manufactured while generation of outer-peripheral micro voids is suppressed in a simple manner.
