Abstract

A semiconductor wafer structure having a device layer, an insulating layer, and a substrate which is capable of supporting increased semiconductor device densities or increased semiconductor device power. One or more of the layers includes an isotopically enriched semiconductor material having a higher thermal conductivity than semiconductor material having naturally occurring isotopic ratios. The wafer structure may be formed by various techniques, such as wafer bonding, and deposition techniques.
