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.

This invention relates to a method for producing a substrate by transferring a layer of a material from a donor substrate to a support substrate, and then by removing a part of the layer of material to form the thin layer. The step of removing a part of the layer of material to form the thin layer comprises forming an amorphous layer in a part of the thin layer, and then recrystallizing the amorphous layer.

Methods for forming a semiconductor structure are described. 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.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for transferring a thin useful layer from a donor substrate having an ordered crystalline structure to a receiver substrate. The method includes creation of a weakened zone in the donor substrate to define the layer to be transferred from the donor substrate. The crystalline structure of a surface region of the donor substrate is disturbed so as to create a disturbed superficial region within the thickness of the donor substrate, and thus define a disturbance interface between the disturbed superficial region and a subjacent region of the donor substrate for which the crystalline structure remains unchanged. Next, the donor substrate is subjected to a recrystallization annealing in order to at least partial recrystallize of the disturbed region, starting from the crystalline structure of the subjacent region of the donor substrate, and to create a zone of crystalline defects in the plane of the disturbance interface. One or several species are introduced into the thickness of the donor substrate to create the weakened zone, with the species being introduced with introduction parameters that are adjusted to introduce a maximum number of species at the zone of crystalline defects.
