摘要:
The process for manufacturing a through insulated interconnection is performed by forming, in a body of semiconductor material, a trench extending from the front (of the body for a thickness portion thereof; filling the trench with dielectric material; thinning the body starting from the rear until the trench, so as to form an insulated region surrounded by dielectric material; and forming a conductive region extending inside said insulated region between the front and the rear of the body and having a higher conductivity than the first body. The conductive region includes a metal region extending in an opening formed inside the insulated region or of a heavily doped semiconductor region, made prior to filling of the trench.

摘要:
A wafer of semiconductor material for fabricating integrated devices, including a stack of superimposed layers including first and second monocrystalline silicon layers separated by an intermediate insulating layer made of a material selected from the group comprising silicon carbide, silicon nitride and ceramic materials. An oxide bond layer is provided between the intermediate layer and the second silicon layer. The wafer is fabricated by forming the intermediate insulating layer on the first silicon layer in a heated vacuum chamber; depositing the oxide layer; and superimposing the second silicon layer. When the stack of silicon, insulating material, oxide and silicon layers is heat treated, the oxide reacts so as to bond the insulating layer to the second silicon layer. As a ceramic material beryllium oxide, aluminium nitride, boron nitride and alumina may be used.
