摘要:
A method for bonding semiconductor structures together is described. The technique includes providing a bonding surface on each of two semiconductor structures, brushing a bonding surface of at least one of the structures to remove contaminants and to activate hydroxyl groups on the bonding surface to enhance hydrophilicity and to facilitate molecular bonding of the structures, and joining the bonding surfaces together by molecular bonding to form a composite structure.

Methods are provided for producing a transfer layer of a semiconductor material on a final substrate. In some embodiments, the transfer layer is produced on the final substrate by forming a layer of semiconductor material on an initial support, assembling that layer and a final substrate by metal bonding, and mechanically separating the initial support from the layer at a weak interface that initially attached the layer to the initial support. An intermediate substrate can be obtained which can be used to fabricate a variety of components such as light-emitting diodes or laser diodes. These techniques can produce a transfer layer on a final substrate and a recyclable initial support that can be detached from the transfer layer for recycling by a non-destructive mechanical release.

The invention relates to a method of producing a stacked structure. The inventive method comprises the following steps consisting in: a) using a first plate (1) which is, for example, made from silicon, and a second plate (5) which is also, for example, made from silicon, such that at least one of said first (1) and second (5) plates has, at least in part, a surface (2; 7) that cannot bond to the other plate; b) providing a surface layer (3; 8), which is, for example, made from silicon oxide, on at least one part of the surface (2) of the first plate and/or the surface (7) of the second plate (5); and c) bonding the two plates (1; 5) to one another. The aforementioned bonding incompatibility can, for example, result from the physicochemical nature of the surface or of a coating applied thereto, or from a roughness value (r′2, r′7) which is greater than a predetermined threshold. The invention also relates to a stacked structure produced using the inventive method.

摘要:
A method of producing a semiconductor structure having at least one support substrate and an ultrathin layer. The method includes bonding a support substrate to a source substrate, detaching a useful layer along a zone of weakness to obtain an intermediate structure including at least the transferred useful layer and the support substrate, and treating the transferred useful layer to obtain an ultrathin layer on the support substrate. The source substrate includes a front face and a zone of weakness below the front face that defines the useful layer, and the useful layer is sufficiently thick to withstand heat treatments without forming defects therein so that it can be reduced in thickness to form the ultrathin layer. The resulting ultrathin layer is suitable for use in applications in the fields of electronics, optoelectronics or optics.

A method for improving the quality of a heterostructure that includes at least two layers of material that have different thermal expansion coefficients is described. The method includes applying a cap layer to the exposed surface of at least one of the layers. The cap layer is made of a material and has a thickness sufficient to reduce defects in at least one of the two layers during subsequent thermal treatment of the heterostructure. The present technique is a reliable and effective method for improving the quality of a heterostructure.

A method for fabricating a substrate containing a useful semiconductor layer on a support having high resistivity by: preparing a base substrate of a semiconductor material containing a controlled quantity of interstitial oxygen, heat treating the base substrate to achieve at least partial precipitation of the interstitial oxygen therein, removing a superficial layer over a controlled depth from a surface of the base substrate that intended to receive a useful layer, forming the useful layer on the surface of the base substrate, with the base substrate serving as a support for the useful layer. This method is applicable in particular to SOI substrates having high resistivity for use in forming high frequency electronic circuits.

摘要:
A method for producing a hybrid substrate, including a support substrate, a continuous buried insulator layer and, on this continuous layer, a hybrid layer including alternating zones of a first material and at least one second material, wherein these two materials are different by their nature and/or their crystallographic characteristics. The method forms a hybrid layer, including alternating zones of first and second materials, on a homogeneous substrate, assembles this hybrid layer, the continuous insulator layer and the support substrate, and eliminates a part at least of the homogeneous substrate, before or after the assembling.
