Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a structure comprising a first substrate comprising at least one electronic component likely to be damaged by a temperature higher than 400° C. and a semiconductor layer extending on the first substrate comprises: (a) providing a first bonding metal layer on the first substrate, (b) providing a second substrate comprising successively: a semiconductor base substrate, a stack of a plurality of semiconductor epitaxial layers, a layer of SixGe1-x, with 0≤x≤1 being located at the surface of said stack opposite to the base substrate, and a second bonding metal layer, (c) bonding the first substrate and the second substrate through the first and second bonding metal layers at a temperature lower than or equal to 400° C., and (d) removing a part of the second substrate so as to transfer the layer of SixGe1-x on the first substrate using a selective etching process.
Abstract:
Methods of forming ternary III-nitride materials include epitaxially growing ternary III-nitride material on a substrate in a chamber. The epitaxial growth includes providing a precursor gas mixture within the chamber that includes a relatively high ratio of a partial pressure of a nitrogen precursor to a partial pressure of one or more Group III precursors in the chamber. Due at least in part to the relatively high ratio, a layer of ternary III-nitride material may be grown to a high final thickness with small V-pit defects therein. Semiconductor structures including such ternary III-nitride material layers are fabricated using such methods.

Abstract:
A structure for radiofrequency applications includes: a semiconducting supporting substrate, and a trapping layer arranged on the supporting substrate. The trapping layer includes a higher defect density than a predetermined defect density. The predetermined defect density is the defect density beyond which the electric resistivity of the trapping layer is no lower than 10,000 ohm·cm over a temperature range extending from −20° C. to 120° C.

Abstract:
A semiconductor structure for optoelectronic applications; comprises a first layer made of a crystalline semiconductor, the layer being disposed on an intermediate layer including or adjacent to a direct-bonding interface, the intermediate layer being disposed on a second layer made of a crystalline semiconductor material. The intermediate layer is composed of a material that is different from those of the first and second layers, and the attenuation coefficient of which is lower than 100. The refractive index of the intermediate layer differs by less than 0.3 from the refractive index of at least one sub-layer of the first layer adjacent to the intermediate layer, and of at least one sub-layer of the second layer adjacent to the intermediate layer.

A support for a semiconductor structure includes a charge-trapping layer on a base substrate. The charge-trapping layer consists of a polycrystalline main layer and, interposed in the main layer or between the main layer and the base substrate, at least one intermediate polycrystalline layer composed of a silicon and carbon alloy or carbon. The intermediate layer has a resistivity greater than 1000 ohm·cm.
Abstract:
A process for separating at least two substrates comprising at least two separation interfaces along one of the interfaces includes, before inserting a blade between the substrate, damaging at least one portion of a peripheral region of a chosen one of the interfaces, then inserting the blade and partially parting the substrates, and applying a fluid in a space between the parted substrates while the blade remains inserted therebetween, and decreasing a rupture energy of the chosen interface by stress corrosion involving breaking of siloxane bonds present at the interface.
