- FIG. 1 illustrates a support substrate 100 of silicon material on which a monocrystalline seed layer 200 of SiC-6H material is transferred.
- the support substrate 100 of silicon material can also be replaced by a support substrate 100 of sapphire material.
- the use of silicon has the advantage of opening up the field of application of AIN material films not only to large 300 mm equipment but also to make the microelectronics industry compatible for which the requirements in terms of acceptance on the production line of exotic material other than silicon, in particular AIN, are high.
- the assembly step 1 'of the monocrystalline seed layer 200 of SiC-6H material on the support substrate 100 of silicon material is preferentially done by a molecular bonding step.
- This molecular adhesion step comprises a bonding step, preferably at ambient temperature, and is followed by a consolidation annealing of the bonding interface which is usually carried out at elevated temperatures up to 900 ° C. or even 1100 ° C. for a period of a few minutes to a few hours.
- the assembly step 1 'of the monocrystalline seed layer on the support substrate is also preferentially by a molecular adhesion step using typical conditions of the same order of magnitude as mentioned. above.

- monocrystalline material INS 10 shown schematically in Figure 1.
- the skilled person could adjust the parameters used for a epitaxial growth of a monocrystalline layer of AIN material usually used during homoepitaxy or heteroepitaxy on a bulk monocrystalline substrate in order to optimize the 3 'growth step by epitaxy of the monocrystalline layer 300 of AIN material made on the substrate for epitaxial growth of a monocrystalline layer of AIN material 10 of the present invention.
- the epitaxy of the material AIN is therefore by MOCVD or MBE or HVPE known to those skilled in the art.
- the present invention is, moreover, not limited to an epitaxy of the AlN material but extends to certain Al x ln y Ga z AsiP m N n composites having a mesh parameter close to that of the AlN material.
- the thermal expansion coefficient of the support substrate 100 predominates the thermal behavior of the substrate for epitaxial growth of a monocrystalline layer of AlN material 10 during the 3 'epitaxial growth step of the monocrystalline layer 300. of AIN material. This is due to the thin thickness, preferably less than 1 miti, of the monocrystalline seed layer 200 of SiC-6H material relative to the total thickness of the substrate for epitaxial growth of a monocrystalline layer of AIN material 10 which is of the order of several tens to hundreds of pm.
- the SiC-6H material is also chosen to provide a monocrystalline seed layer having a mesh parameter as close as possible to the mesh parameter chosen for the monocrystalline layer 300 of AlN material, preferably the relaxed state mesh parameter in order to allow epitaxial growth inducing as few defects as possible in the monocrystalline layer 300 of AlN material.
- the material of the support substrate 100 advantageously also has a thermal expansion coefficient that is particularly close to the thermal expansion coefficient of the AlN material for the same reasons of reducing defects in the monocrystalline layer 300 obtained by epitaxy.
- a support substrate 100 of sapphire material for the present invention would be used.
- FIG. 2 diagrammatically represents an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a monocrystalline layer of AlN material that differs from the embodiment described with reference to FIG.
- the monocrystalline substrate 20 'of SiC-6H material is subjected to a 0 "implantation step of atomic and / or ionic species to form an embrittlement zone delimiting a portion 200 'of monocrystalline substrate 20' of SiC-6H material intended to be transferred onto the support substrate 100 'of silicon material
- the thinning step 2 "comprises a detachment at this embrittlement zone so as to transfer said portion 200 'of the monocrystalline substrate 20' of SiC-6H material to the support substrate 100 'of silicon material, in particular this detachment comprises the application of a thermal and / or mechanical stress.
- the advantage of this embodiment is thus to be able to recover the remaining portion 201 of the monocrystalline substrate 20 'of starting SiC-6H material that can be used again to undergo the same process again and thus reduce costs .
- the substrate for epitaxial growth of a monocrystalline layer of AlN material 10 'thus illustrated in FIG. 2 serves for the growth step 3 "of the monocrystalline layer 300' of AlN material as already described during the process described in connection with Figure 1.
- the implantation step 0 is done with hydrogen ions.
- An interesting alternative well known to those skilled in the art is to replace all or part of the hydrogen ions with helium ions.
- a hydrogen implantation dose will typically be between 6x10 16 cm 2 and 1x10 17 cm 2 .
- the implantation energy will typically be between 50 to 170 keV.
- the detachment is typically at temperatures between 550 and 750 ° C. Thicknesses of the monocrystalline seed layer of the order of 200 nm to 1.5 ⁇ m are thus obtained.
- additional technological steps are advantageously added in order to reinforce the interface of bonding, either to recover a good roughness, or to heal the defects possibly generated during the implantation step or to prepare the surface of the seed layer for epitaxial growth. These steps are, for example, polishing, chemical etching (wet or dry), annealing, chemical cleaning. They can be used alone or in combination that those skilled in the art can adjust.
- FIG. 3 differs from the embodiments described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in that the substrate for epitaxial growth of a monocrystalline layer of AIN material (10, 10 ') comprises a demountable interface 40' configured to to be dismantled.
- a support substrate 100 of silicon material it may be a rough surface, for example silicon material assembled with the monocrystalline seed layer during the assembly step. Or a rough interface may be present within the support substrate 100 of silicon material, the latter for example obtained by assembling two silicon wafers.
- Another embodiment would be to introduce at the level of the face to be assembled with the monocrystalline seed layer a porous silicon layer capable of fracturing during the application of a mechanical and / or thermal stress, for example by insertion of a plate edge blade known to those skilled in the art or by the application of annealing.
- this interface is chosen so as to withstand the other mechanical and / or thermal stresses undergone during the process of the present invention (eg detachment, growth by epitaxy, etc.).
- a sapphire material support substrate it may be a stack of silicon oxide, silicon nitride and silicon oxide (so-called ONO type structure) made on the face of the sapphire to assemble with the monocrystalline seed layer.
- Such a stack is susceptible to detachment at the level of the silicon nitride layer during a laser application passing through the sapphire support substrate (detachment or detachment type "laser lift off").
- detachment or detachment type "laser lift off” The skilled person will identify other methods of realization of this removable interface.
- FIG. 4 diagrammatically represents an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a monocrystalline layer of AlN material which differs from the embodiments described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 in that the seed layer
- the monocrystalline 2000 'material SiC-6H is in the form of a plurality of blocks (2001', 2002 ', 2003') each transferred to the support substrate 100 "of silicon material.
- the different pavers can be in any form (square, hexagonal, strips, ...) and with different sizes ranging from a few mm 2 to several cm 2 .
- the spacing between the chips may also vary significantly depending on whether a maximum density of coverage is sought (in this case preferentially a spacing of less than 0.2 mm will be chosen) or, on the contrary, maximum dissemination of the blocks within the substrate ( in this case the spacing may be several millimeters and even centimeters).
- a maximum density of coverage in this case preferentially a spacing of less than 0.2 mm will be chosen
- maximum dissemination of the blocks within the substrate in this case the spacing may be several millimeters and even centimeters.
- the skilled person could apply the transfer he wants and is not limited to a particular method. Thus one could consider applying the technical information described in connection with the method illustrated schematically in Figure 1 or the technical information described in connection with the method illustrated schematically in Figure 2, see even a combination of both.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 thus open the possibility of co-integration of components made in the monocrystalline layer of AlN material with components made in the support substrate of silicon material.
- the latter may simply be a silicon substrate, but it may also be an SOI type substrate comprising a silicon oxide layer separating a silicon substrate from a thin layer of silicon.
- access to the support substrate can be done simply by lithography and etching known to those skilled in the art.
- FIG. 5 diagrammatically represents an embodiment which differs from the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 4 in that the support substrate 100 "as well as subsequently the substrate for epitaxial growth of a monocrystalline layer of AIN material 10 "comprises a removable interface 40 configured to be disassembled, for example by a laser lift off technique and / or chemical etching and / or mechanical stressing. This would make it possible to remove a portion of the support substrate 100 "as already mentioned in connection with FIG. 3.
- An example would be the use of a support substrate 100 of the SOI type comprising a silicon oxide layer separating a silicon substrate. a thin layer of silicon.
- This oxide layer could be used as a removable interface 40 by selective etching of this oxide layer, for example by immersion in a hydrofluoric acid (HF) bath.
- HF hydrofluoric acid
- This option of dismantling by chemical etching of a buried layer is particularly advantageous when it comes in combination with the treatment of a plurality of small substrates. Indeed, the radius of action under-engraving is generally limited to a few centimeters or even a few millimeters if it is desired to maintain commercially reasonable conditions and processing times.
- the treatment of a plurality of small substrates allows the start of several chemical etching fronts thanks to possible access of the buried layer between each block, and no longer only on the extreme edges of the substrates which can be up to 300mm in diameter . In the case of an SOI support substrate it is thus possible to partially remove the thin layer of silicon between the blocks to allow the start of several etching fronts.
- the thin silicon layer having a predetermined thickness (which can vary between 5 nm and 600 nm, or even thicker depending on the intended application) could thus be used to form microelectronic components and thus enable the co-integration of components with base of AIN materials in the same substrate.
- the monocrystalline layer (3001, 3002, 3003) one could also imagine an assembly of this structure on a final substrate and dismount at the demountable interface 40 a portion of the support substrate 100 ".
- the final substrate can thus provide additional functionalities that are, for example, incompatible with growth parameters previously performed (for example, flexible plastic type end substrate or final substrate comprising metal lines).
- the removable interface is not necessarily located inside the support substrate but can also be at the interface with the seed layer of SiC-6H material assembled on this support substrate (for example a stack a layer of silicon nitride between two silicon oxide layers allows a laser detachment, particularly suitable for a sapphire-type support substrate) as already described in connection with FIG.
