Abstract

The invention relates to a method for treating substrates (50) for microelectronics or optoelectronics, whereby said substrates comprise a useful layer (52) on at least one of the surfaces thereof. The inventive method includes a mechanical/chemical polishing step occurring on a bare surface (54) of the useful layer and is characterized in that it also comprises a post-curing step in a reductive atmosphere (100) before said polishing step occurs.
