Abstract

A support for a semiconductor structure includes a base substrate, a first silicon dioxide insulating layer positioned on the base substrate and having a thickness greater than 20 nm, and a charge trapping layer having a resistivity higher than 1000 ohm·cm and a thickness greater than 5 microns positioned on the first insulating layer.

Claims (26)

1. A support for a semiconductor structure, comprising:

a base substrate;

a first silicon dioxide insulating layer positioned on the base substrate, the first silicon dioxide insulating layer having a thickness greater than 20 nm; and

a charge trapping layer positioned on the first silicon dioxide insulating layer, the charge trapping layer having a resistivity higher than 1000 ohm·cm and a thickness greater than 5 microns.

2. The support of claim 1 , wherein the charge trapping layer comprises alternating layers of polycrystalline silicon and silicon dioxide.

3. The support of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the charge trapping layer is greater than 10 microns.

4. The support of claim 1 , wherein the charge trapping layer comprises amorphous or porous silicon.

5. The support of claim 1 , wherein the base substrate has a resistivity lower than 1000 ohm·cm.

6. The support of claim 1 , wherein the base substrate has a resistivity higher than 1000 ohm·cm.

7. A semiconductor structure, comprising:

a support according to claim 1 ;

an insulating layer on the support; and

a useful layer on the insulating layer.

8. The semiconductor structure of claim 7 , wherein the useful layer comprises at least one integrated device.

9. The support of claim 1 , wherein the charge trapping layer comprises polycrystalline silicon.

10. The support of claim 9 , wherein the polycrystalline silicon comprises silicon grains having dimensions between 10 and 900 nm.

11. The support of claim 9 , wherein the polycrystalline silicon is rich in carbon.

12. The support of claim 11 , wherein the polycrystalline silicon comprises silicon grains having dimensions between 10 and 900 nm.

13. The support of claim 12 , wherein the charge trapping layer comprises alternating layers of polycrystalline silicon and silicon dioxide.

14. The support of claim 12 , wherein the thickness of the charge trapping layer is greater than 10 microns.

15. The support of claim 12 , wherein the charge trapping layer comprises amorphous or porous silicon.

16. The support of claim 1 , further comprising a second insulating layer on the charge trapping layer.
