Abstract:
Method and apparatus for forming free-standing, substantially monocrystalline semiconductor substrates is described. A template substrate is subjected to a process of forming a porous layer on each major surface of the template substrate. The porous layer is smoothed, and then an epitaxial layer is formed on each porous layer. Mechanical energy is used to separate the epitaxial layers from the template substrate, which is recycled by removing any remaining porous and epitaxial material.
