Abstract:
A method of preparing a semiconductor structure comprising:(a) providing a first material comprising (i) a first wafer comprising silicon, (ii) at least one SiC conversion layer obtained by converting a portion of the silicon to SiC, (iii) at least one layer of non-indigenous SiC applied to the conversion layer, and (iv) at least one oxide layer applied to the non-indigenous SiC layer; (b) implanting ions in a region of the non-indigenous SiC layer, thereby establishing an implant region therein which defines a first portion of the non-indigenous SiC layer and a second portion of the non-indigenous SiC layer; (c) providing at least one additional material comprising (i) a second wafer comprising silicon, and (ii) an oxide layer applied to a face of the second wafer; (d) bonding the oxide layer of the first material and oxide layer of the additional material to provide an assembly of the first material and second material; and (e) separating at the implant region the second portion of the non-indigenous SiC layer from the first portion of the non-indigenous SiC layer to provide a semiconductor structure comprising a substrate comprising silicon, at least one oxide layer residing on the substrate, and at least one non-indigenous SiC layer residing on the oxide layer.
