摘要:
A semiconductor-on-glass substrate having a relatively stiff (e.g. relatively high Young's modulus of 125 or higher) stiffening layer or layers placed between the silicon film and the glass in order to eliminate the canyons and pin holes that otherwise form in the surface of the transferred silicon film during the ion implantation thin film transfer process. The new stiffening layer may be formed of a material, such as silicon nitride, that also serves as an efficient barrier against penetration of sodium and other harmful impurities from the glass substrate into the silicon film.

摘要:
A process of making semiconductor-on-glass substrates having a relatively stiff (e.g. relatively high Young's modulus of 125 or higher) stiffening layer between the silicon film and the glass in an ion implantation thin film transfer process by depositing a stiffening layer or layers on one of the donor wafer or the glass substrate in order to eliminate the canyons and pin holes that otherwise form in the surface of the transferred silicon film during the thin film transfer process. The new stiffening layer may be formed of a material, such as silicon nitride, that also serves as an efficient barrier against penetration of sodium and other harmful impurities from the glass substrate into the silicon film.

摘要:
A method for configuring a process for treating a semiconductor wafer. A minimum layer thickness of a transferred layer to be provided is determined to obtain a processed layer that has a preselected target thickness and target maximum density of through holes that extend completely therethrough, by conducting a predetermined finishing sequence of operations that improve the surface quality of the layer. The minimum thickness is determined such that the density of through holes remains below the target maximum density after each operation in the finishing sequence.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of forming a structure comprising a thin layer of semiconductor material transferred from a donor substrate onto a second substrate, wherein two different atomic species are co-implanted under certain conditions into the donor substrate so as to create a weakened zone delimiting the thin layer to be transferred. The two different atomic species are implanted so that their peaks have an offset of less than 200 Å in the donor substrate, and the substrates are bonded together after roughening at least one of the bonding surfaces.

摘要:
A method of detaching two substrates at the embrittlement zone situated at a given depth of one of the two substrates. The method includes a separation annealing step implemented in a furnace, wherein the annealing includes a first phase during which the temperature changes along an upgrade allowing a high temperature to be reached and annealing at this high temperature to be stabilized, and a second phase during which the temperature changes along a downgrade, at the end of which the furnace is opened to unload the substrates from the furnace. The second phase is regulated so as to minimize temperature inhomogeneities such as cleavage defects at the detached surfaces of the substrates when the furnace is opened.
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.
