The invention relates to a composite structure for electronic components comprising a growth substrate, an intermediate layer having substantially a crystallographic lattice structure arranged on the growth substrate, and a diamond layer applied on top of the intermediate layer, and to a process for producing a composite structure of this type. In order to obtain a diamond layer of highest quality, the intermediate layer has substantially a zinc blende or diamond or a calcium fluoride structure, in which at the outset of the intermediate layer the difference between the lattice constant of the intermediate layer and the lattice constant of the growth substrate, relative to the lattice constant of the growth substrate, is less than 20%, in particular less than 10%, and in which at the transition from the intermediate layer to the diamond layer for the lattice constant of the intermediate layer and the lattice constant of the diamond layer the value of the expression .vertline.(n*a.sub.ZS -m*a.sub.D).vertline./n*a.sub.ZS is less than 0.2, in particular less than 0.1, wherein n and m are natural numbers, a.sub.D is the lattice constant of the diamond layer, and a.sub.ZS is the lattice constant of the intermediate layer at the transition to the diamond layer.

The invention relates to a composite structure including a semiconductor layer arranged on a diamond layer and/or a diamond-like layer, for subsequent processing to produce electronic components and/or groups of components and to a process for producing such a composite structure. In order to improve the quality of the subsequent components, the diamond layer is deposited underneath the component source zones from which the components are subsequently produced, and the diamond or diamond-like layer is provided at the margins of the component source zones and/or outside of the component source zones with edges where the thickness of the layer changes abruptly such that the edges have an edge height amounting to at least 1O%, preferably at least 50%, of the layer thickness of the diamond layer. Imperfections such as dislocations or other discontinuities in the semiconductor layer tend to collect at these edges outside of the component source zones, thereby decreasing the density of discontinuities in the component source zones and improving the quality of electronic components produced of material from the component source zones.

The invention provides a composite structure for microelectronic components having a self-supporting metal plate, an electrically insulating layer adhering to the metal plate, and a functional layer adhering to the insulating layer for the application of at least one microelectronic component. An at least largely monocrystalline information layer which covers the metal plate at points is applied to the self-supporting metal plate. The regions of the surface of the metal plate which are free of the information layer are provided with the insulating layer. When the surface of the information layer is exposed at least in regions, the functional layer is deposited on the insulating layer and on the exposed information layer. The crystal information required for an epitaxial deposition of the functional layer is taken from the information layer.

An integrated circuit chip has full trench dielectric isolation of each portion of the chip. Initially the chip substrate is of conventional thickness and has semiconductor devices formed in it. After etching trenches in the substrate and filling them with dielectric material, a heat sink cap is attached to the passivation layer on the substrate front side surface. The passivation layer is a CVD diamond film which provides both electrical insulation and thermal conductivity. The substrate backside surface is removed (by grinding and/or CMP) to expose the bottom portion of the trenches. This fully isolates each portion of the die and eliminates mechanical stresses at the trench bottoms. Thereafter drain or collector electrical contacts are provided on the substrate backside surface. In a flip chip version, frontside electrical contacts extend through the frontside passivation layer to the heat sink cap. In a surface mount version, vias are etched through the substrate, with surface mount posts formed on the vias, to contact the frontside electrical contacts and provide all electrical contacts on the substrate backside surface. The wafer is then scribed into die in both versions without need for further packaging.

The invention relates to a composite structure for an electronic component with an undoped diamond layer, at least one side of which is covered by a doped non-diamond layer, arranged on a growth substrate. The diamond layer has a thickness of less than 0.5 .mu.m. In addition, the conduction and/or valence bands of the diamond layer and the nondiamond layer exhibit such a band discontinuity that charge carries from the doped non-diamond layer which are excited optically and/or thermally, for example, can be drawn, with a reduction of their potential energy, into the valence and/or conduction band of the undoped diamond layer. This configuration causes a potential well to exist in the area of the diamond layer, at least in one direction, with a quantizing effect for the charge carriers drawn into the diamond layer.
