Abstract

Methods of forming SOI substrates are disclosed. In some embodiments, an epitaxial layer and an oxide layer are formed on a sacrificial substrate. An etch stop layer is formed in the epitaxial layer. The sacrificial substrate is bonded to a handle substrate at the oxide layer. The sacrificial substrate is removed. The epitaxial layer is partially removed until the etch stop layer is exposed.
