The present invention provides a bonded substrate fabricated to have its final active layer thickness of 200 nm or lower by performing the etching by only 1 nm to 1 μm with a solution having an etching effect on a surface of an active layer of a bonded substrate which has been prepared by bonding two substrates after one of them having been ion-implanted and then cleaving off a portion thereof by heat treatment. SC-1 solution is used for performing the etching. A polishing, a hydrogen annealing and a sacrificial oxidation may be respectively applied to the active layer before and/or after the etching. The film thickness of this active layer can be made uniform over the entire surface area and the surface roughness of the active layer can be reduced as well.

In a method of fabricating an SOI wafer, an oxide film is formed on the surface of at least one of two silicon wafers; hydrogen ions or rare gas ions are implanted into the upper surface of one of the two silicon wafers in order to form a fine bubble layer (enclosed layer) within the wafer; the ion-implanted silicon wafer is superposed on the other silicon wafer such that the ion-implanted surface comes into close contact with the surface of the other silicon wafer via the oxide film; heat treatment is performed in order to delaminate a portion of the ion-implanted wafer while the fine bubble layer is used as a delaminating plane, in order to form a thin film to thereby obtain an SOI wafer. In the method, a defect layer at the delaminated surface of the thus-obtained SOI wafer is removed to a depth of 200 nm or more through vapor-phase etching, and then mirror polishing is performed. Therefore, the obtained SOI wafer has an extremely low level of defects and a high thickness uniformity.

The invention provides a coating apparatus and a coating method. When a front end of a substrate G approaches a set position (start position for coating) near an area just below a resist nozzle (78), transferring of the substrate is stopped for a second inspection. An optical distance sensor (162) measures distances (Ld, Le) above and below the substrate G. Then, measured values of thickness D of the substrate and floating height Hb are compared to their set values or fiducial values [D] and [Hb]. If absolute values of [D]-D and [Hb]-Hb are within the preset range, 'normal' is obtained, other wise 'abnormal' is obtained. Thus the time for coating the substrate with a treating solution through non-revolving coating method with floating-transferring manner is shortened, the position relationship for heights of a floating table, the substrate and the nozzle is properly managed, and a coating film of the treating solution can be formed with uniform film thickness on the substrate.
