  • Patent number: 12119258
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure for radio frequency applications includes a support substrate made of silicon and comprising a mesoporous layer, a dielectric layer arranged on the mesoporous layer and a superficial layer arranged on the dielectric layer. The mesoporous layer comprises hollow pores, the internal walls of which are mainly lined with oxide. The mesoporous layer has a thickness between 3 and 40 microns and a resistivity greater than 20 kohm·cm over its entire thickness. The support substrate has a resistivity between 0.5 and 4 ohm·cm. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a semiconductor structure.
