  • Patent number: 9853130
    Abstract: A method of modifying a strain state of a first channel structure in a transistor is provided, said structure being formed from superposed semiconducting elements, the method including providing on a substrate at least one first semiconducting structure formed from a semiconducting stack including alternating elements based on at least one first semiconducting material and elements based on at least one second semiconducting material different from the first material; then removing portions of the second material from the first semiconducting structure by selective etching, the removed portions forming at least one empty space; filling the empty space with a dielectric material; forming a straining zone on the first semiconducting structure based on a first strained material having an intrinsic strain; and performing thermal annealing to cause the dielectric material to creep, and to cause a change in a strain state of the elements based on the first material.

  • Publication number: 20170352583
    Abstract: This method includes the following steps: a) providing a first structure successively including a substrate, an electronic device and a dielectric layer; b) providing a second structure successively including a substrate, an active layer, an intermediate layer, a first semiconducting layer and a porous second semiconducting layer; c) bonding the first and second structures by direct bonding between the dielectric layer and the porous second semiconducting layer; d) removing the substrate of the second structure so as to expose the active layer; e) adding dopants to the first semiconducting layer or to the active layer; f) irradiating the first semiconducting layer by a pulse laser so as to thermally activate the corresponding dopants.
