Patent ID: 8853064

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a substrate, comprising: raising temperature of a base substrate; forming a plurality of recessed portions conforming to crystal shapes of the base substrate on a surface of the base substrate by supplying HCl gas on the base substrate; forming a buffer layer on the base substrate; forming a NH 4 Cl separation layer by supplying HCl gas and NH 3 gas on the buffer layer; forming a first semiconductor layer on the separation layer at a temperature in the range of 350° C. to 450° C.; forming a second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer at a temperature higher than the temperature that the first semiconductor layer is formed; and separating the semiconductor layer from the base substrate via the separation layer by cooling the base substrate, wherein the first semiconductor layer is formed to have a first thickness at the temperature that the separation layer is formed, and to have a second thickness at a temperature higher than the temperature that the first thickness is formed.
