Patent ID: 8524572

Claim:
A method of forming a semiconductor-on-insulator construction, comprising: forming a unit comprising dielectric material over monocrystalline semiconductor material; forming a damage region within the monocrystalline semiconductor material, a portion of the monocrystalline semiconductor material being between the damage region and the dielectric material; attaching the unit to a handle component through the dielectric material to form an assembly comprising the handle component and the unit; utilizing an electrostatic chuck to contort the assembly and thereby induce cleavage along the damage region and form the semiconductor-on-insulator construction; the semiconductor-on-insulator construction comprising the dielectric material as the insulator, and comprising at least some of said portion of the semiconductor material as the semiconductor; wherein the forming the damage region comprises implanting hydrogen into the monocrystalline semiconductor material; and wherein the hydrogen is implanted at a dose of from about 2×10 16 particles/cm 2 to about 5×10 16 particles/cm 2 .
