摘要:
A method for concurrently producing at least a pair of semiconductor structures that each include at least one useful layer on a substrate. The method includes providing an initial structure that includes a useful layer having a front face on a support substrate. Atomic species are implanted into the useful layer to a controlled mean implantation depth to form a zone of weakness within the useful layer that defines first and second useful layers. Next, a stiffening substrate is bonded to the front face of the initial structure. The first useful layer is then detached from the second useful layer along the zone of weakness to obtain a pair of semiconductor structures with a first structure including the stiffening substrate and the first useful layer and a second structure including the support substrate and the second useful layer. The structures obtained can be used in the fields of electronics, optoelectronics or optics.

The present invention relates to a method for transferring a thin useful layer from a donor substrate having an ordered crystalline structure to a receiver substrate. The method includes creation of a weakened zone in the donor substrate to define the layer to be transferred from the donor substrate. The crystalline structure of a surface region of the donor substrate is disturbed so as to create a disturbed superficial region within the thickness of the donor substrate, and thus define a disturbance interface between the disturbed superficial region and a subjacent region of the donor substrate for which the crystalline structure remains unchanged. Next, the donor substrate is subjected to a recrystallization annealing in order to at least partial recrystallize of the disturbed region, starting from the crystalline structure of the subjacent region of the donor substrate, and to create a zone of crystalline defects in the plane of the disturbance interface. One or several species are introduced into the thickness of the donor substrate to create the weakened zone, with the species being introduced with introduction parameters that are adjusted to introduce a maximum number of species at the zone of crystalline defects.

The invention relates to methods of forming a relaxed or pseudo-relaxed layer on a substrate, wherein the relaxed layer may be a semiconductor material. An implementation of the method includes growing an elastically stressed semiconductor material layer on a donor substrate, forming a glassy layer of a viscous material and bonding it to the stressed layer, removing a portion of the donor substrate to form a structure that includes the glassy layer, the stressed layer and a surface layer of donor substrate, and then heat treating the structure at a temperature of at least a viscosity temperature of the glassy layer to relax the stressed layer. The glassy layer can also be bonded to a receiving substrate so that the structure can be transferred thereto. Implementations also relate to structures obtained from the method.

Methods for producing a multilayer semiconductor structure are described. In an embodiment, the method includes providing a support substrate made of a first semiconductor material having a first lattice parameter, and depositing a layer of a second semiconductor material having a second lattice parameter that is substantially different than the first lattice parameter onto the support substrate. In this manner, an intermediate structure is formed that has an interface between the first and second semiconductor materials, and the depositing is conducted such that most of the defects in the deposited layer are confined to an adaptation layer located in a region adjacent to the interface. The method also includes creating a zone of weakness in the intermediate structure, bonding the second semiconductor material layer to a target substrate, detaching the support substrate at the zone of weakness to obtain a multilayer semiconductor structure having an exposed surface where detached, and treating the exposed surface to assure that the adaptation layer is fully removed in order to obtain a relaxed thin layer of the second semiconductor material having a high quality surface.

An insulated gate field effect transistor having a vertically layered elevated source/drain structure includes an electrically conductive suppression region for resistance to hot carrier injection. The device includes a semiconductor substrate of first conductivity type having a gate insulator disposed on the surface of that substrate. A gate electrode, in turn, is disposed on the gate insulator. A lightly doped drain region of second conductivity type is formed in the substrate in alignment with the gate electrode. An electrically conductive suppression region having a first low electrical conductivity is positioned to electrically contact the drain region, but is electrically isolated from the gate electrode and is spaced a first distance from the gate electrode. A heavily doped drain contact also contacts the drain region and is spaced further away from the gate electrode than is the electrically conducted suppression region.
