The present description relates to a method of manufacturing an electronic circuit () comprising:

Electronic circuit manufacturing method for self-assembly to another electronic circuit

An electronic circuit including a surface intended to be attached to another electronic circuit by hybrid molecular bonding. The electronic circuit includes an electrically-insulating layer exposed on the surface, and, distributed in the electrically-insulating layer, first electrically-conductive bonding pads exposed on a first portion of the surface, the density of the first bonding pads on the first portion of the surface being smaller than 30%, and at least one electrically-conductive test pad, exposed on a second portion of the surface containing a square having a side length greater than 30 μm. The density of electrically-conductive material of the test pad exposed on the second portion of the surface is in the range from 40% to 80%.

Electronic circuit for a hybrid molecular bonding

A method of treatment of an electronic circuit including at a location at least one electrically-conductive test pad having a first exposed surface. The method includes the at least partial etching of the test pad from the first surface, and the forming on the electronic circuit of an interconnection level covering said location and including, on the side opposite to said location, a second planar surface adapted for the performing of a hybrid molecular bonding.

Method of treatment of an electronic circuit for a hybrid molecular bonding

A method for transferring at least one chip, from a first support to a second support, includes forming, while the chip is assembled to the first support, an interlayer in the liquid state between, and in contact with, a front face of the chip and an assembly surface of a face of the second support and a solidification of the interlayer. Then, the chip is detached from the first support while maintaining the interlayer in the solid state.

Method for transferring chips

Fabrication of a field-effect transistor is performed on a substrate comprising a film made from first semiconductor material, a gate dielectric covered by a gate electrode, source and drain areas separated by the gate electrode, a protection layer covering gate electrode and source and drain areas, and an access hole to the source area and/or to drain area. Metallic material is deposited in the access hole in contact with the first semiconductor material of the source and/or drain area. An electrically conducting barrier layer that is non-reactive with the first semiconductor material and with the metallic material is deposited before reaction of metallic material with first semiconductor material. Transformation heat treatment of the metallic material with the semiconductor material is performed to form a metallic material having a base formed by the semiconductor material generating a set of stresses on a conduction channel arranged between the source and drain areas.
