Method for manufacturing semiconductor device

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: preparing a substrate made of a compound semiconductor containing a first element and a second element that is bonded to the first element and has an electronegativity smaller than that of the first element by 1.5 or more; causing an electric current to flow in the substrate; and dividing the substrate at a position including a current region where the electric current is caused to flow and along a cleavage plane of the substrate. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: stacking a first substrate and a second substrate each made of the compound semiconductor; and bonding the first substrate and the second substrate by causing an electric current to flow between the first substrate and the second substrate.
