A Si substrate 1 with a SiGeC crystal layer 8 deposited thereon is annealed to form an annealed SiGeC crystal layer 10 on the Si substrate 1. The annealed SiGeC crystal layer includes a matrix SiGeC crystal layer 7, which is lattice-relieved and hardly has dislocations, and SiC microcrystals 6 dispersed in the matrix SiGeC crystal layer 7. A Si crystal layer is then deposited on the annealed SiGeC crystal layer 10, to form a strained Si crystal layer 4 hardly having dislocations.
