Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor structure, includes steps of growing an oxide layer on a substrate to form a first wafer, separately forming a metal film on an oxidized substrate to form a second wafer, attaching the first and second wafers, performing a heat cycle for the first and second wafers to form a bond between the first and second wafers, and detaching a portion of the first wafer from the second wafer. Thus, a device, such as a back-plane for a semiconductor device, formed by the method includes an oxidized substrate, a metal film formed on the oxidized substrate forming a back-gate, a back-gate oxide formed on the back-gate, and a silicon layer formed on the back-gate oxide.
