Patent ID: 10755967

Abstract:
A method is provided, including successive steps of a) providing a donor substrate covered with a layer of oxide; b) implanting gaseous species in the donor substrate, through the layer to form an embrittlement zone, and at the end of step b), the layer has an absorbance peak with a maximum at a first wavenumber, and with a full width at half maximum; c) applying ultraviolet radiation to the free surface of the layer under an ozone atmosphere and according to a thermal budget for: shifting the maximum by at least 3 cm−1 towards increasing wavenumbers, reducing the full width at half maximum by at least 3 cm−1, and allowing direct adhesion with the free surface; d) assembling the donor substrate on the supporting substrate by direct adhesion with the free surface; and e) splitting the donor substrate along the embrittlement zone to expose a useful layer.
