    Abstract: A hybrid substrate has an SOI structure having a good silicon active layer, without defects such as partial separation of the silicon active layer is obtained without trimming the outer periphery of the substrate. An SOI substrate is obtained by sequentially laminating a first silicon oxide film and a silicon active layer in this order on a silicon substrate. A terrace portion that does not have the silicon active layer is formed in the outer peripheral portion of the silicon substrate surface. A second silicon oxide film is formed on the silicon active layer surface of the SOI substrate The bonding surfaces of the SOI substrate and a supporting substrate that has a thermal expansion coefficient different from that of the SOI substrate is subjected to an activation treatment. The SOI substrate and the supporting substrate are bonded with the second silicon oxide film being interposed therebetween.
