Abstract

A method for transferring a thin layer from a donor substrate to a receiver substrate including the steps of implantation of species carried out in a uniform manner on the whole of the donor substrate to form therein an embrittlement plane which delimits the thin layer and a bulk part of the donor substrate, of placing in contact the donor substrate and the receiver substrate and of initiating and propagating a fracture wave along the embrittlement plane. The method comprises, before the placing in contact, a step of localised reduction of a capacity of the embrittlement plane to initiate the fracture wave. This step of localised reduction may be carried out by means of a localised laser annealing of the donor substrate.
