Abstract

A method for making a layer of monocrystalline, semiconducting material on a layer of insulating material is disclosed. For this, epitaxial growth is achieved in a cavity closed by layers of dielectric materials, using seeds of monocrystalline, semiconducting material of a substrate. This method thus enables a 3D integration of semiconductor components.
