Abstract

This invention provides methods for manufacturing compound-material wafers and methods for recycling donor substrates that results from manufacturing compound-material wafers. The provided methods includes at least one further thermal treatment step configured to at least partially reduce oxygen precipitates and/or nuclei. Reduction of oxygen precipitates and/or nuclei, improves the recycling rate of the donor substrate.
