    Abstract: A stressor layer used in a controlled spalling method is removed through the use of a cleave layer that can be fractured or dissolved. The cleave layer is formed between a host semiconductor substrate and the metal stressor layer. A controlled spalling process separates a relatively thin residual host substrate layer from the host substrate. Following attachment of a handle substrate to the residual substrate layer or other layers subsequently formed thereon, the cleave layer is dissolved or otherwise compromised to facilitate removal of the stressor layer. Such removal allows the fabrication of a bifacial solar cell.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a strained Si layer on SiGe, where the SiGe layer has improved thermal conductivity. A first layer (41) of Si or Ge is deposited on a substrate (10) in a first depositing step; a second layer (42) of the other element is deposited on the first layer in a second depositing step; and the first and second depositing steps are repeated so as to form a combined SiGe layer (50) having a plurality of Si layers and a plurality of Ge layers (41-44). The respective thicknesses of the Si layers and Ge layers are in accordance with a desired composition ratio of the combined SiGe layer. The combined SiGe layer (50) is characterized as a digital alloy of Si and Ge having a thermal conductivity greater than that of a random alloy of Si and Ge. This method may further include the step of depositing a Si layer (61) on the combined SiGe layer (50); the combined SiGe layer is characterized as a relaxed SiGe layer, and the Si layer (61) is a strained Si layer. For still greater thermal conductivity in the SiGe layer, the first layer and second layer may be deposited so that each layer consists essentially of a single isotope.

    Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren bereitgestellt, um (i) eine zusätzliche Steuerung in einen Prozess für ein Spalling von Material einzubringen, um so sowohl die Initiierung von Rissen als auch die Ausbreitung von Rissen zu verbessern, und um (ii) den Bereich von auswahlbaren Spalling-Tiefen zu vergrößern. In einer Ausführungsform beinhaltet das Verfahren ein Bereitstellen einer Stressorschicht auf einer Oberfläche eines Grundsubstrats bei einer ersten Temperatur, welche die Raumtemperatur ist. Als Nächstes wird das Grundsubstrat, das die Stressorschicht beinhaltet, auf eine zweite Temperatur gebracht, die niedriger als Raumtemperatur ist. Das Grundsubstrat wird bei der zweiten Temperatur abgeplatzt, um eine abgeplatzte Materialschicht zu bilden. Danach wird die abgeplatzte Materialschicht auf Raumtemperatur, d. h. die erste Temperatur, zurückgebracht.

    Abstract: Method to (i) introduce additional control into a material spalling process, thus improving both the crack initiation and propagation, and (ii) increase the range of selectable spalling depths are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a stressor layer on a surface of a base substrate at a first temperature which is room temperature. Next, the base substrate including the stressor layer is brought to a second temperature which is less than room temperature. The base substrate is spalled at the second temperature to form a spalled material layer. Thereafter, the spalled material layer is returned to room temperature, i.e., the first temperature.
