    摘要: The invention concerns a method to thin an initial silicon-on-insulator SOI substrate, comprising a layer (3) of silicon oxide SiO
    2 buried between a silicon carrier substrate (2) and a silicon surface layer. This method is noteworthy in that it comprises the following successive steps consisting of conducting: -thermal oxidation treatment of said initial substrate, to oxidize part of said silicon surface layer, -a first, then a second cycle of etching and cleaning, the first cycle etching being performed so as fully to remove the formed thermal oxide and to lift off all the unstable parts of the edge of said initial substrate, the second cycle etch being conducted to remove from the surface of said thinned substrate the formed polluting particles (5) deposited thereupon, so as to obtain a final SOI substrate (1') whose thinned surface layer (4') forms an active layer.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for reducing the roughness of the free surface of a semiconductor wafer, said process comprising a single annealing step for smoothing said free surface, said single annealing step being carried out as a RTA under an atmosphere of pure argon, characterized in that before the RTA the atmosphere of the annealing environment is purged in a controlled manner so as to establish a controlled purged atmosphere allowing reduction of preliminary pollutants on the wafer.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for reducing the rugosity of the free surface of a slice of semiconductor material. Said method comprises an annealing step in order to smooth said free surface. The invention is characterized in that the method for reducing free surface rugosity comprising a single smoothing annealing step which is carried out in the form of rapid thermal annealing in an atmosphere which is exclusively comprised of pure argon. The invention also relates to a structure produced by said method.
