(d) Step of forming a semiconductor film on one face side of the support side semiconductor substrate via an intermediate insulating film after the primary connection plugs have been formed.
(e) Step of forming elements on the semiconductor film after the semiconductor film has been formed.
(f) Step of exposing bottom faces of the primary connection plugs by polishing the other face of the support side semiconductor substrate after the elements have been formed.
(g) Step of forming the second holes extending from the element forming face of the semiconductor film to the primary connection plugs.
(h) Step of forming auxiliary connection plugs for electrically connecting the elements with the primary connection plugs by
