摘要:
The invention relates to structures useful for the manufacture of electronic components, which comprise a substrate, a strain holding layer, and a layer of a strained semiconducting material. These structures are particularly useful where islands are later formed in the strained semiconducting material because the strain holding layer limits relaxation of stress in the islands. This invention also relates to processes for making a these structures.

摘要:
A method for making substrates for use in optics, electronics, or opto-electronics. The method may include transferring a seed layer onto a receiving support and depositing a useful layer onto the seed layer. The thermal expansion coefficient of the receiving support may be identical to or slightly larger than the thermal expansion coefficient of the useful layer and the thermal expansion coefficient of the seed layer may be substantially equal to the thermal expansion coefficient of the receiving support. Preferably, the nucleation layer and the intermediate support have substantially the same chemical composition.
摘要:
A method for producing a semiconductor structure by conducting controlled co-implanting of at least first and second different atomic species into a donor substrate to create an embrittlement zone which defines a thin layer of donor material to be transferred. Implantation energies are selected so that the first and second species are respectively distributed in the donor wafer according to a repartition profile that presents a spreading zone in which each species is mainly distributed at a maximum concentration peak. The implantation doses and energies of the first and second species are selected such that the second species is implanted deeper in the embrittlement zone than the first species spreading zone. The donor substrate is detached at the embrittlement zone to transfer the thin layer to the support substrate while minimizing blister formation in and surface roughness of the transferred layer. Preferably, the implantation dose of the first species is between about 40 to 60 percent of all implantation doses. This method is preferably utilized for forming or producing SeOI (Semiconductor On Insulator) structures.

A composite structure is disclosed that includes a support wafer and a layered structure on the support wafer. The layered structure includes at least one layer of a monocrystalline material and at least one layer of a dielectric material. In addition, the layered structure materials and the thickness of each layer are chosen such that the thermal impedance between ambient temperature and 600° K of the composite structure is a value that is no greater than about 1.3 times the thermal impedance of a monocrystalline bulk SiC wafer having the same dimensions as the composite structure. The composite structure provides sufficient heat dissipation properties for manufacturing optical, electronic, or optoelectronic components.
摘要:
Composite substrates are produced that include a strained III-nitride material seed layer on a support substrate. Methods of producing the composite substrate include developing a desired lattice strain in the III-nitride material to produce a lattice parameter substantially matching a lattice parameter of a device structure to be formed on the composite substrate. The III-nitride material may be formed with a Ga polarity or an N polarity. The desired lattice strain may be developed by forming a buffer layer between the III-nitride material and a growth substrate, implanting a dopant in the III-nitride material to modify its lattice parameter, or forming the III-nitride material with a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) on a growth substrate with a different CTE.

摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the formation of a structure comprising a thin layer made of semiconductor material on a substrate, including the steps of providing a zone of weakness in a donor substrate; bonding the donor substrate to a support substrate; detaching a portion of the donor substrate to transfer it to the support substrate, wherein the detaching includes applying heat treating the donor substrate to weaken the zone of weakness without initiating detachment and applying an energy pulse to provoke self-maintained detachment of the donor substrate portion to transfer it to the support substrate; and subjecting the transferred portion of the donor substrate to a finishing operation to form a thin layer. The finishing operation is simplified compared to that which is conducted by a conventional process that achieves detaching by applying a heat treatment to provoke self-maintained detachment of the donor substrate portion, and the thin layer has a surface of the same smoothness as one prepared by the conventional process.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for forming a heterogeneous assembly of first and second materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion. The method includes bonding a surface of a first substrate of a first material to a surface of a second substrate of a second material wherein the first substrate includes a zone of weakness therein to define a transfer layer adjacent the first surface, providing a stiffening substrate of a third material to maintain sufficient flatness and prevent breakage of the transfer layer during detachment from the first substrate, and detaching the transfer layer from the first substrate along the zone of weakness to form a heterogeneous assembly of the transfer layer and second substrate. The stiffening substrate is bonded to one of the first or second substrates and the third material has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is the same as or close to that of the material of the substrate to which the stiffening substrate is bonded to facilitate a successful detachment of the transfer layer from the first substrate.
