The invention relates to a process for thinning the active silicon layer of a substrate, which comprises an insulator layer between the active layer and a support, this process comprising one step of sacrificial thinning of active layer by formation of a sacrificial oxide layer by sacrificial thermal oxidation and deoxidation of the sacrificial oxide layer. The process is noteworthy in that it comprises: a step of forming a complementary oxide layer, on the active layer, using an oxidizing plasma, this layer having a thickness profile complementary to that of oxide layer, so that the sum of the thicknesses of the oxide layer and of the sacrificial silicon oxide layer are constant over the surface of the treated substrate, a step of deoxidation of this oxide layer, so as to thin active layer by a uniform thickness. |
