摘要:
The invention provides a method of producing a structure of a thin layer of semiconductor material on a support substrate. The thin layer is obtained from a donor substrate and includes an upper layer of semiconductor material. The method includes forming on the upper layer a bonding layer of a material that accepts diffusion from an element of the material of the upper layer, bonding the donor substrate from the side on which the bonding layer is formed on the upper layer to the support substrate, and diffusing the element from the upper layer into the bonding layer to homogenize the concentration of the element in the bonding layer and the upper layer. The result is that the thin layer of the structure is joined by the bonding layer to the upper layer.
摘要:
A method for transferring a layer of semiconductor material from a wafer is described. The wafer includes a support substrate and an upper surface that includes a buffer layer of a material having a first lattice parameter. In an embodiment, the technique includes growing a strained layer on the buffer layer. The strained layer is made of a semiconductor material having a nominal lattice parameter that is substantially different from the first lattice parameter, and it is grown to a thickness that is sufficiently thin to avoid relaxation of the strain therein. The method also includes growing a relaxed layer on the strained layer. The relaxed layer is made of silicon and has a concentration of at least one other semiconductor material that has a nominal lattice parameter that is substantially identical to the first lattice parameter. The technique also includes providing a weakened zone in the buffer layer, and supplying energy to detach a structure at the weakened zone. The structure includes a portion of the buffer layer, the strained layer and the relaxed layer. Lastly; the method includes enriching the concentration of the at least one other semiconductor material in the relaxed layer of the structure.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor heterostructure by first manufacturing a donor wafer having a first substrate with a first in-plane lattice parameter, a spatially graded buffer layer having a second in-plane lattice parameter, and a strained smoothing layer of a semiconductor material having a third in-plane lattice parameter which has a value between that of the first and second lattice parameters. A top layer is formed on the ungraded layer a top layer of a semiconductor material having a top surface, optionally with a superficial layer present on the top surface and having a thickness that is equal to or smaller than 10 nanometers. Next, a handle wafer of a second substrate having an insulator layer thereon is bonded with the donor wafer in such way that (a) the insulator layer of the handle wafer is bonded directly onto the top surface of the top layer of the donor wafer, or (b) the insulator layer of the handle wafer is bonded onto the superficial layer.
摘要:
A method for producing a semiconductor structure that includes at least one useful layer on a substrate. This method includes providing a source substrate with a zone of weakness therein that defines a relatively thick useful layer between the zone of weakness and a front face of the source substrate; bonding the front face of the source substrate to a support substrate and detaching the useful layer from the source substrate at the zone of weakness to transfer the useful layer to the support substrate; implanting atomic species into a free face of the useful layer to a controlled mean implantation depth therein to form a zone of weakness within the useful layer that defines front and rear useful layers, with the rear useful layer contacting the source substrate and the front useful layer containing a greater concentration of defects; bonding a stiffening substrate to the free face of the front useful layer after implantation of the atomic species; and detaching the front useful layer from the rear useful layer along the zone of weakness to form a semiconductor structure comprising the support substrate and the rear useful layer thereon. The structures obtained can be used in the fields of electronics, optoelectronics or optics.
摘要:
A donor wafer resulting from a method of recycling the wafer after detaching at least one useful layer. The donor wafer includes a substrate; a buffer structure on the substrate; a protective layer associated with the buffer structure; and a post detachment layer located above the buffer structure and presenting projections or rough portions on its surface. The protective layer prevents removal of the entire buffer structure when the post detachment layer is removed.
摘要:
A method for reducing roughness of an exposed surface of an insulator layer on a substrate, by depositing an insulator layer on a substrate wherein the insulator layer includes an exposed rough surface opposite the substrate; treating the first substrate to form a zone of weakness beneath the insulator layer; and smoothing the exposed rough surface of the insulator layer by exposure to a gas plasma in a chamber. The chamber contains therein a gas at a pressure of greater than 0.25 Pa but less than 30 Pa, and the gas plasma is created using a radio frequency generator applying to the insulator layer a power density greater than 0.6 W/cm2 but less than 10 W/cm2 for at least 10 seconds to less than 200 seconds. Substrate bonding and layer transfer may be carried out subsequently to transfer the thin layer of substrate to the insulator layer and to a second substrate.
