Abstract

The invention concerns a method comprising: 1) a first phase including steps which consist in forming in the upper part of a first initial semiconductor substrate a first layer of insulating material above a sectional plane of said first substrate, contacting the first layer of insulating material with the insulating upper part of a second initial substrate, so as to form a single layer of insulating material, a break at the sectional plane, so as to obtain an intermediate semiconductor substrate on the single insulating material layer; then, 2) in a second phase which consists in forming in the intermediate semiconductor substrate an additional insulating material layer adjacent to the single insulating material and topped with an upper layer of a final semiconductor substrate.
