A method of preparing a multilayer structure, the method comprising: forming a semiconductor oxide layer, a semiconductor nitride layer, or a semiconductor oxynitride layer in interfacial contact with a front surface of a single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate comprising two major, generally parallel surfaces, one of which is the front surface of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate and the other of which is a back surface of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, a circumferential edge joining the front and back surfaces of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, a central plane between the front surface and the back surface of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, and a bulk region between the front and back surfaces of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, wherein the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate has a minimum bulk region resistivity of at least 500 Ohm-cm; annealing the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate comprising the semiconductor oxide layer, the semiconductor nitride layer, or the semiconductor oxynitride layer in interfacial contact with the front surface thereof in an ambient atmosphere comprising a gas selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydrogen chloride, chlorine, and any combination thereof to thereby form a textured semiconductor oxide layer, a textured semiconductor nitride layer, or a textured semiconductor oxynitride layer comprising holes having sizes between 5 nanometers and 1000 nanometers; depositing a polycrystalline silicon layer on the textured semiconductor oxide layer, the textured semiconductor nitride layer, or the textured semiconductor oxynitride layer in interfacial contact with the front surface of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, wherein the polycrystalline silicon layer is deposited by chemical vapor deposition; and bonding a dielectric layer on a front surface of a single crystal semiconductor donor substrate to the polycrystalline silicon layer of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate to thereby form a bonded structure, wherein the single crystal semiconductor donor substrate comprises two major, generally parallel surfaces, one of which is the front surface of the semiconductor donor substrate and the other of which is a back surface of the semiconductor donor substrate, a circumferential edge joining the front and back surfaces of the semiconductor donor substrate, and a central plane between the front and back surfaces of the semiconductor donor substrate. forming a semiconductor oxide layer, a semiconductor nitride layer, or a semiconductor oxynitride layer in interfacial contact with a front surface of a single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate comprising two major, generally parallel surfaces, one of which is the front surface of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate and the other of which is a back surface of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, a circumferential edge joining the front and back surfaces of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, a central plane between the front surface and the back surface of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, and a bulk region between the front and back surfaces of the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate, wherein the single crystal semiconductor handle substrate has a minimum bulk region resistivity of at least 500 Ohm-cm;
