Abstract

A process for preparing a semiconductor substrate comprises a step of making a silicon substrate porous, a step of forming a non-porous silicon monocrystalline layer on the resulting porous substrate, a step of bonding the surface of the non-porous silicon monocrystalline layer to another substrate having a metallic surface, and a step of removing the porous silicon layer of the bonded substrates by selective etching.
