HF-originated radicals generated in a plasma-forming chamber are fed to a treatment chamber via feed holes, while HF gas molecules as the treatment gas are supplied to the treatment chamber from near the radical feed holes to suppress the excitation energy, thereby increasing the selectivity to Si to remove a native oxide film. Even with the dry-treatment, the surface treatment provides good surface flatness equivalent to that obtained by the wet-cleaning which requires high-temperature treatment, and further attains growth of Si single crystal film on the substrate after the surface treatment. The surface of formed Si single crystal film has small quantity of impurities of oxygen, carbon, and the like. After sputtering Hf and the like onto the surface of the grown Si single crystal film, oxidation and nitrification are applied thereto to form a dielectric insulation film such as HfO thereon, thus forming a metal electrode film. All through the above steps, the substrate is not exposed to atmospheric air, thereby suppressing the adsorption of impurities onto the interface, and thus obtaining a C-V curve with small hysteresis. As a result, good device characteristics are obtained in MOS-FET.

In order to adjust thickness of a bonded silicon single crystal film 15 depending of thickness of an SOI layer 5 to be obtained, depth of formation d1+tx of a separatory ion implanted layer 4, measured from a first main surface J, in the separatory ion implanted layer formation step is adjusted through energy of the ion implantation.
