  • An example of the surface state of an initial substrate 2 is given in . Although the RMS roughness remains less than 1 nm, a PV roughness is observed which can exceed 30 nm due to the presence of scratches on the surface. Such a surface state is likely to generate physical defects (holes) at the level of the future interface between the substrate and the thin layer of the composite structure 100: this leads to degrading the quality and integrity of the thin layer transferred thus as the electrical conductivity of the interface.
  • the initial substrate 2 can have a surface roughness PV of up to a few micrometers, which greatly relaxes the manufacturing or supply constraints of the initial substrate 2.
