摘要:
A method for forming a structure that includes a layer that is removed from a donor wafer that has a first layer made of a semiconductor material containing germanium. The method includes the steps of forming a weakness zone in the thickness of the first layer; bonding the donor wafer to a host wafer; and supplying energy so as to weaken the donor wafer at the level of the zone of weakness. The zone of weakness is formed by subjecting the donor wafer to a co-implantation of at least two different atomic species, while the bonding is carried out by performing a thermal treatment at a temperature between 300° C. and 400° C. for a duration of from 30 minutes to four hours.

The implanting step includes implantation parameters chosen to minimize surface roughness resulting from detachment at the zone of weakness.

A semiconductor structure includes a substrate having a surface and being made of a material that provides atypical surface properties to the surface, a bonding layer on the surface of the substrate, and a further layer molecularly bonded to the bonding layer. A method for fabricating such a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate having a surface and being made of a material that provides atypical surface properties to the surface, providing a bonding layer on the surface of the substrate, smoothing the bonding layer to provide a surface that is capable of molecular bonding, and molecularly bonding a further layer to the bonding layer to form the structure. The atypical surface properties preferably include at least one of a roughness of more than 0.5 nm rms, or a roughness of at least 0.4 nm rms that is difficult to polish, or a chemical composition that is incompatible with molecular bonding.
摘要:
An automatic high-precision layer cutting device for separating a layer from a semiconductor substrate. The cutting device includes a fixed positioning member for receiving at least a portion of a semiconductor substrate that has a weakened area therein and a peripheral annular notch that is located below the weakened area. The positioning member maintains a predetermined position of the substrate on a support. The device also includes cutting means having at least one blade for contacting the substrate and for inducing a cleaving wave into the substrate. The cutting means is operatively associated with the positioning member so that the at least one blade contacts the annular notch and the positioning member prevents movement of the substrate. The at least one blade induces a cleaving wave of sufficient intensity to both divide the substrate at the notch into first and second parts and detach the layer from the substrate along the weakened area.

The invention relates to a method of removing a peripheral zone of adhesive while using a layer of adhesive in the process of assembling and transferring a layer of material from a source substrate to a support substrate. The method is remarkable in that it includes bonding the two substrates together by means of a curable adhesive so that an excess of adhesive is present. This assures proper bonding and provides a peripheral zone of adhesive outside of the joined substrates. Only that portion of adhesive is cured which is present in a connection zone between the substrates, and the peripheral zone of non-cured adhesive is removed prior to detaching the transferable layer. The invention is applicable to fabricating a composite substrate in the fields of electronics, opto-electronics, or optics.

A method of fabricating a hybrid substrate by direct bonding of donor and receiver substrates where each substrate has a respective front face and surface, with the front face of the receiver substrate having a semiconductor material near the surface, and the donor substrate including a zone of weakness that defines a layer to be transferred. The method includes preparing the substrate surfaces by exposing the surface of the receiver substrate to a temperature from about 900° C. to about 1200° C. in an inert atmosphere for at least 30 sec; directly bonding together the front faces of the prepared substrates to form a composite substrate; heat treating the composite substrate to increase bonding strength between the front surfaces of the donor and receiver substrates; and transferring the layer from the donor substrate by detaching the remainder of the donor substrate at the zone of weakness.

In an embodiment, the technique includes providing a donor wafer having a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer on the first layer and having a free surface; coimplanting two different atomic species through the free surface of the second layer to form a zone of weakness zone in the first layer; bonding the free surface of the second layer to a host wafer; and supplying energy to detach at the zone of weakness a semiconductor structure comprising the host wafer, the second layer and a portion of the first layer. Advantageously, the donor wafer includes a SiGe layer, and the co-implantation of atomic species is conducted according to implantation parameters adapted to enable a first species to form the zone of weakness in the SiGe layer, and to enable a second species to provide a concentration peak located beneath the zone of weakness in the donor wafer to thus minimize surface roughness resulting from detachment at the zone of weakness.
