Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and a semiconductor substrate are provided. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a bonding layer that bonds a semiconductor thin film to a bonding layer region on a portion of a first substrate with a force weaker than covalent bonding, forming the semiconductor thin film in the bonding layer region and a non-bonding layer region other than the bonding layer region, separating the semiconductor thin film from the first substrate by bonding an organic layer included in a pick-up substrate different from the first substrate to the semiconductor thin film, removing the bonding layer adhered to a peeled surface of the semiconductor thin film separated from the first substrate, and bonding the semiconductor thin film from which the bonding layer has been removed to a second substrate different from the first substrate.
