Abstract

In one embodiment, methods for making semiconductor devices are disclosed.

Claims (34)

1. A semiconductor substrate comprising:

a base substrate having a first semiconductor material;

a buried structure; and

a device layer having a second semiconductor material, wherein the buried structure is disposed between the base substrate and the device layer,

wherein the buried structure has a thickness equal to about k×λ laser /(2×n), wherein:

λ laser is a wavelength of peak emission;

k is an integer greater than zero (1, 2, 3 . . . ); and

n is an index of refraction for the buried structure.

2. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the base substrate is silicon, SiC, GaN, or sapphire.

3. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the buried structure is an insulating material.

4. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the buried structure is silicon dioxide, AlGaN, or AlN.

5. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the device layer is silicon, SiC, GaN, or sapphire.

6. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the device layer is monocrystalline.

7. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the buried structure is about 0.001 μm to about 5 μm.

8. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the device layer is about 0.1 μm to about 500 μm.

9. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the wavelength of peak emission for the light applied to inscribe the semiconductor substrate is about 200 nm to about 1,500 nm.

10. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the buried structure is about 365 nm, 740 nm or 1095 nm.

11. The substrate claim 1 , where the base substrate is silicon, the buried structure is silicon dioxide, and the device layer is silicon.

12. A semiconductor substrate comprising:

a base substrate having a first semiconductor material;

a buried structure; and

a device layer having a second semiconductor material, wherein the buried structure is disposed between the base substrate and the device layer,

wherein the buried structure has a thickness equal to about k×λ/(2×n), wherein:

λ is about 530 nm or about 1060 nm;

k is an integer greater than zero (1, 2, 3 . . . ); and

n is an index of refraction for the buried structure.

13. The substrate of claim 12 , wherein the buried structure is an insulating material.

14. The substrate of claim 12 , wherein the buried structure is silicon dioxide, AlGaN, or AlN.

15. The substrate of claim 12 , wherein the buried structure is silicon dioxide.

16. The substrate of claim 15 , wherein the base substrate is silicon, SiC, GaN, or sapphire.

17. The substrate of claim 12 , wherein the thickness of the buried structure is equal to about k×367 nm.

18. The substrate of claim 12 , wherein the device layer is monocrystalline.

19. The substrate of claim 12 , wherein a thickness of the device layer is about 0.1 μm to about 500 μm.

20. The substrate claim 12 , where the base substrate is silicon, the buried structure is silicon dioxide, and the device layer is silicon.
