Abstract

A semiconductor substrate is provided that exhibits very low substrate resistance while also providing structural integrity and robustness to resist breakage during manufacturing. The invention also provides methods of making these semiconductor substrates. The semiconductor substrate includes a planar surface and a recess extending below the planar surface. Preferred substrates include a plurality of recesses arranged in an array.
