Abstract

The present invention relates to method of fabricating a (110) oriented silicon substrate and to a method of fabricating a bonded pair of substrates comprising such a (110) oriented silicon substrate. The invention further relates to a silicon substrate with (110) orientation and to a bonded pair of silicon substrates comprising a first silicon substrate with (100) orientation and a second silicon substrate with (110) orientation. Methods include the steps of providing a basic silicon substrate with (110) orientation, the basic silicon substrate having a roughness being equal or less than 0.15 nm RMS, and depositing epitaxially a silicon layer with (110) orientation on the basic silicon substrate at a pressure between 40 Torr to 120 Torr, and at a temperature between about 1000° C. and about 1200° C. and using trichlorosilane or dichlorosilane as silicon precursor gas.
