A method of forming a stressed thin film on a substrate includes the steps of depositing a thin film of silicon on a first substrate and transforming the first substrate into a porous substrate. The porous substrate containing the thin film of silicon is then transformed into a stressed state such that at least a portion of the stress is transferred to the thin film. The thin film may be under compressive stress or tensile stress. For example, volumetric expansion of the porous substrate imparts tensile stress to the thin film while volumetric contraction of the porous substrate imparts compressive stress to the thin film. The porous substrate containing the stressed thin film of silicon is then bonded to a second substrate. The porous substrate is removed so as to deposit the stressed thin film of silicon to the second substrate.
