MULTI-LAYER SUBSTRATE STRUCTURE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR THE SAME

摘要

A method for manufacturing a multi-layer substrate structure such as a CSOI wafer structure (cavity-SOI, silicon-on-insulator) comprising obtaining a first and second wafer, such as two silicon wafers, wherein at least one of the wafers may be optionally provided with a material layer such as an oxide layer (302, 404), forming a cavity on the bond side of the first wafer (306, 406), depositing, preferably by ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition), a material layer, such as thin alumina layer, on either wafer arranged so as to at least in places face the other wafer and cover at least portion of the cavity of the first wafer, such as bottom, wall and/or edge thereof, and enable stopping etching, such as dry etching, into the underlying material (308, 408), and bonding the wafers provided with at least the aforesaid ALD layer as an intermediate layer together to form the multi-layer semi- conductor substrate structure (310, 312).A related multi-layer substrate structure is presented.
