Method for transferring blocks from a donor substrate onto a receiver substrate by implanting ions in the donor substrate through a mask, bonding the donor substrate to the receiver substrate, and detaching the donor

Abstract

A process for transferring blocks from a donor to a receiver substrate, comprises: arranging a mask facing a free surface of the donor substrate, the mask having one or more openings that expose the free surface of the donor substrate, the openings distributed according to a given pattern; forming, by ion implantation through the mask, an embrittlement plane in the donor substrate vertically in line with at least one region exposed through the mask, the embrittlement plane delimiting a respective surface region; forming a block that is raised relative to the free surface of the donor substrate localized vertically in line with each respective embrittlement plane, the block comprising the respective surface region; bonding the donor substrate to the receiver substrate via each block located at the bonding interface, after removing the mask; and detaching the donor substrate along the localized embrittlement planes to transfer blocks onto the receiver substrate.
