    Abstract: A method for preparing a support substrate having a charge-trapping layer includes introducing a monocrystalline silicon base substrate into a chamber of deposition equipment and, without removing the base substrate from the chamber and while flushing the chamber with a carrier gas, performing the following successive steps: forming a dielectric layer on the base substrate by introducing a reactive gas into the chamber over a first time period; and forming a polycrystalline silicon charge-trapping layer directly on the dielectric layer by introducing a precursor gas containing silicon into the chamber over a second time period, subsequent to the first time period. The time for which the dielectric layer is exposed only to the carrier gas, between the first time period and the second time period, is less than 30 seconds and the formation of the charge-trapping layer is performed at a temperature strictly between 1010° C. and 1200° C.
