    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.

    Abstract: A method for minimizing harmonic distortion and/or intermodulation distortion of a radiofrequency signal propagating in a radiofrequency circuit formed on a semiconductor substrate coated with an electrically insulating layer, wherein a curve representing the distortion as a function of a power of the input or output signal exhibits a trough around a given power (PDip), the method comprises applying, between the radiofrequency circuit and the semiconductor substrate, an electrical potential difference (VGB) chosen so as to move the trough toward a given operating power of the radiofrequency circuit.

    Abstract: A process for transferring a buried circuit layer comprises taking a donor substrate comprising an internal etch stop zone and covered on its front side with a circuit layer, producing over the entire circumference of the donor substrate either a peripheral trench or a peripheral routing, the routing or trench being produced over a depth such that they pass entirely through the circuit layer and extend into the donor substrate, depositing on the circuit layer and on the routed side or on the walls of the trench a layer of an etch stop material that is selective with respect to etching of the circuit layer, without filling the trench, bonding a receiver substrate to the donor substrate, and thinning the donor substrate by etching its back side until reaching the etch stop zone so as to obtain the transfer of the buried circuit layer to the receiver substrate.

    Abstract: A process for producing a receiver substrate for a semiconductor-on-insulator structure for radiofrequency application comprises the following steps:—providing a semiconductor substrate comprising a base substrate made of monocrystalline material and a charge-trapping layer made of polycrystalline silicon arranged on the base substrate;—oxidizing the charge-trapping layer to form an oxide layer arranged on the charge-trapping layer. The oxidation of the charge-trapping layer is performed at least partly at a temperature lower than or equal to 875° C., in the following manner:—starting the oxidization at a first temperature (T1) between 750° C. and 1000° C.;—decreasing the temperature down to a second temperature (T2), lower than the first temperature (T1), between 750° C. and 875° C.;—continuing the oxidization at the second temperature (T2).
