Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate is provided. A handle substrate is provided. A beveling treatment is performed on an edge of a device substrate such that a bevel is formed at the edge of the device substrate, wherein a thickness of the device substrate is greater than 100 μm and less than 200 μm. An ion implantation process is performed on a first surface of the device substrate to form an implantation region within the first surface. A second surface of the device substrate is bonded to the handle substrate for forming the epitaxy substrate, wherein a bonding angle greater than 90° is provided between the bevel of the device substrate and the handle substrate, and a projection length of the bevel toward the handle substrate is between 600 μm and 800 μm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate, the method comprising: providing a handle substrate; performing a beveling treatment on an edge of a device substrate such that a bevel is formed at the edge of the device substrate, wherein a thickness of the device substrate is greater than 100 μm and less than 200 μm; performing an ion implantation process on a first surface of the device substrate to form an implantation region within the first surface; and bonding a second surface of the device substrate to the handle substrate to form the epitaxy substrate, wherein a bonding angle greater than 90° is provided between the bevel of the device substrate and the handle substrate, and a projection length of the bevel toward the handle substrate is between 600 μm and 800 μm. 2. The method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the implantation region and the first surface is 10 nm to 95 nm. 3. The method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate of claim 1 , wherein a method of providing the handle substrate comprises doping carbon, nitrogen or a combination thereof during crystal growth. 4. The method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate of claim 1 , further comprising, after providing the handle substrate, forming a protective layer on a surface of the handle substrate that is not bonded to the device substrate. 5. The method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate of claim 1 , wherein a method of bonding the second surface of the device substrate to the handle substrate further comprises performing the bonding between the second surface of the device substrate and the handle substrate through a bonding layer. 6. The method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate of claim 5 , further comprising, before bonding the second surface of the device substrate to the handle substrate, forming a charge trapping layer on a surface of the handle substrate that is bonded to the device substrate. 7. The method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate of claim 1 , wherein a resistivity of the device substrate is greater than 100 ohm-cm. 8. The method of manufacturing an epitaxy substrate of claim 1 , wherein an error value of crystal orientation of the device substrate is less than ±0.05 degree. 9.
