Abstract

A method for transferring a semiconductor layer from a donor substrate to a receiver substrate having an open cavity includes forming an embrittlement plane in the donor substrate, making, by bringing the donor substrate and the receiver substrate into contact, a packaging in which the cavity is buried, and separating the packaging by fracturing along the embrittlement plane. The separating causes a transfer of the semiconductor layer to the receiver substrate and a sealing of the cavity by the semiconductor layer. The method also includes, prior to making the packaging, implanting diffusing species into the donor substrate or into the receiver substrate and, subsequently to making the packaging and prior to separating the packaging, diffusing the species into the cavity.
