Abstract

A method for fabricating a substrate containing a useful semiconductor layer on a support having high resistivity by: preparing a base substrate of a semiconductor material containing a controlled quantity of interstitial oxygen, heat treating the base substrate to achieve at least partial precipitation of the interstitial oxygen therein, removing a superficial layer over a controlled depth from a surface of the base substrate that intended to receive a useful layer, forming the useful layer on the surface of the base substrate, with the base substrate serving as a support for the useful layer. This method is applicable in particular to SOI substrates having high resistivity for use in forming high frequency electronic circuits.
