| 1. A method of manufacturing a substrate on which a semiconductor device is fabricated, the method comprising:
forming a monocrystal SiGe layer on a monocrystal Si layer formed on an insulating film; and
thermal-oxidizing the monocrystal Si layer and the SiGe layer at an initial oxidation temperature at a first stage and at
a final oxidation temperature lower than the initial oxidation temperature at a final stage to form a Si oxide film on the
Si layer and the SiGe layer on a side opposite to the insulating film and to form a monocrystal Ge layer having a compressive
strain, wherein the thermal-oxidizing is performed at a temperature not more than a melting temperature of the SiGe layer,
and by setting the initial oxidation temperature at a value exceeding 1000° C. and a final oxidation temperature at not more
than 900° C. while decreasing the heating temperature gradually.
