Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023052704A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a composite structure comprising a thin layer of monocrystalline silicon carbide (c-SiC) placed on a polycrystalline silicon carbide (p-SiC) carrier substrate, the method comprising: (a) a step of providing an initial c-SiC substrate; (b) a first deposition step at a temperature above 1100°C so as to form a first p-SiC layer on a front face of the initial substrate, the first layer having a thickness of less than 1 μm and a concentration in dopants greater than 1019/cm3; (c) an ion implantation step wherein light species are implanted through the first layer so as to form a fracture plane embedded in the initial substrate, delimiting the thin film between said embedded fracture plane and the front face of the initial substrate; (d) a second deposition step at a temperature below 900°C so as to form a second layer of amorphous and/or polycrystalline SiC on the first layer, the second layer having a thickness greater than or equal to 10 μm and a concentration in dopants, of the same type as those of the first layer, greater than 1019/cm3; (e) a third deposition step at a temperature above 1000°C so as to form a third p-SiC layer on the second layer, the first, second and third layers forming the carrier substrate, separation along the embedded fracture plane being performed during the third deposition step.
