  • Method for forming an integrated circuit level by sequential tridimensional integration
    Patent number: 8486817
    Abstract: A method for forming a level of a tridimensional structure on a first support in which components are formed, including the steps of forming, on a second semiconductor support, a single-crystal semiconductor substrate with an interposed thermal oxide layer; placing the free surface of the single-crystal semiconductor substrate on the upper surface of the first support; eliminating the second semiconductor support; and thinning down the thermal oxide layer down to a thickness capable of forming a gate insulator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2013
    Assignees: STMicroelectronics S.A., STMicroelectronics (Crolles 2) SAS, Commissariat à l'Énergies Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives
    Inventors: Perceval Coudrain, Philippe Coronel, Nicolas Buffet
