    Abstract: A method for preparing a crystalline semiconductor layer in order for the layer to be provided with a specific lattice parameter involves a relaxation procedure that is applied for a first time to a first start donor substrate in order to obtain a second donor substrate. Using the second donor substrate as the start donor substrate, the relaxation procedure is repeated for a number of times that is sufficient for the lattice parameter of the relaxed layer to be provided with the specific lattice parameter. A set of substrates may be obtained by the method.

    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).

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plurality of crystalline semiconductor islands having different lattice parameters includes providing a relaxation substrate comprising a support and a flow layer on the support that includes first and second groups of blocks having different viscosities at a relaxation temperature. The relaxation substrate also comprises a plurality of strained crystalline semiconductor islands on the flow layer, the islands of a first group being located on the first group of blocks and islands of a second group being located on the second group of blocks. The relaxation substrate is then heat treated at a relaxation temperature higher than or equal to the glass transition temperature of at least one block of the flow layer to cause differentiated lateral expansion of the first and second groups of islands such that the first and second groups of relaxed islands then have different lattice parameters.
