    Abstract: A photonic-electronic integrated-circuit chip is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate. The silicon-on-insulator substrate has an embedded dielectric layer and an active layer of semiconductor material. The chip includes an electronic circuit portion and a photonic interconnection interface of the electronic circuit portion which are co-integrated in the active layer. The electronic circuit portion is formed in an active layer region, the thickness of which is greater than the thickness of an active layer region in which the photonic interface is formed.

    Abstract: A production method for a surface acoustic wave device comprises the following steps: a step of providing a piezoelectric substrate comprising a transducer arranged on the main front face; a step of depositing a dielectric encapsulation layer on the main front face of the piezoelectric substrate and on the transducer; and a step of assembling the dielectric encapsulation layer with the main front face of a support substrate having a coefficient of thermal expansion less than that of the piezoelectric substrate. In additional embodiments, a surface acoustic wave device comprises a layer of piezoelectric material equipped with a transducer on a main front face, arranged on a substrate support of which the coefficient of thermal expansion is less than that of the piezoelectric material. The transducer is arranged in a dielectric encapsulation layer, between the layer of piezoelectric material and the support substrate.

    Abstract: Substrates for microelectronic radiofrequency devices may include a substrate comprising a semiconductor material. Trenches may be located in an upper surface of the substrate, at least some of the trenches including a filler material located within the respective trench. A resistivity of the filler material may be 10 kOhms·cm or greater. A piezoelectric material may be located on or above the upper surface of the substrate. Methods of making substrates for microelectronic radiofrequency devices may involve forming trenches in an upper surface of a substrate including a semiconductor material. A filler material may be placed in at least some of the trenches, and a piezoelectric material may be placed on or above the upper surface of the substrate.
