Abstract:
A method for bonding a first substrate having a first surface to a second substrate having a second surface. This method includes the steps of holding the first substrate by at least two support points, positioning the first substrate and the second substrate so that the first surface and the second surface face each other, deforming the first substrate by applying between at least one pressure point and the two support points a strain toward the second substrate, bringing the deformed first surface and the second surface into contact, and progressively releasing the strain to facilitate bonding of the substrates while minimizing or avoiding the trapping of air bubbles between the substrates.
Abstract:
A method for transferring a thin layer onto a carrier substrate comprises preparing a carrier substrate using a preparation method involving supplying a base substrate having, on a main face, a charge-trapping layer and forming a dielectric layer having a thickness greater than 200 nm on the charge-trapping layer. Once the dielectric layer is formed, the ionized deposition and sputtering of the dielectric layer are simultaneously performed. The transfer method also comprises assembling, by way of molecular adhesion and with an unpolished free face of the dielectric layer, a donor substrate to the dielectric layer of the carrier substrate, the donor substrate having an embrittlement plane defining the thin layer. Finally, the method comprises splitting the donor substrate at the embrittlement plane to release the thin layer and to transfer it onto the carrier substrate.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor on insulator type structure by transfer of a layer from a donor substrate onto a receiver substrate, comprises: a) the supply of the donor substrate and the receiver substrate, b) the formation in the donor substrate of an embrittlement zone delimiting the layer to transfer, c) the bonding of the donor substrate on the receiver substrate, the surface of the donor substrate opposite to the embrittlement zone with respect to the layer to transfer being at the bonding interface, and d) the detachment of the donor substrate along the embrittlement zone. A step of controlled modification of the curvature of the donor substrate and/or the receiver substrate is performed before the bonding step.
