Abstract

A vitreous semiconductor supporting structure obtained by connecting semiconductor layers to a vitreous support constituted by at least two glasses. The semiconductor layers are constituted by an electrically and optically active n-ary III-V compound layer (3) and optional complementary layers for passivation (4), index adaptation (6), and protection (7). To keep the active layer in a compression state and optimize its electrical properties, the structure includes at least two glasses, an intermediate glass (15) providing thermoelastic properties and a supporting glass (16) providing a high softening temperature.
