Abstract: The present invention describes a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising a semiconductor substrate in the shape of a slice, the method comprising the steps of: step 1) selectively applying a pattern of a solids-based dopant source to a first major surface of said semiconducting substrate; step 2) diffusing the dopant atoms from said solids-based dopant source into said substrate by a controlled heat treatment step in a gaseous environment surrounding said semi-conducting substrate, the dopant from said solids-based dopant source diffusing directly into said substrate to form a first diffusion region and, at the same time, diffusing said dopant from said solids-based dopant source indirectly via said gaseous environment into said substrate to form a second diffusion region in at least some areas of said substrate to form a second diffusion region in at least some areas of said substrate not covered by said pattern; and step 3) forming a metal contact pattern substantially in alignment with

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of transfer of a first planar substrate with two major surfaces to a second substrate, comprising the steps of forming the first planar substrate, attaching one of the major surfaces of the first planar substrate to a carrier by means of a release layer attaching the other major surface of the first substrate to the second substrate with a curable polymer adhesive layer partly curing the polymer adhesive layer, disconnecting the release layer from the first substrate to separate the first substrate from the carrier, followed by curing the polymer adhesive layer.
