Abstract
A method for direct bonding between at least a first and a second substrate, each of the first and second substrates containing a first and a second main surface, the method including: a first thinning of the edges of the first substrate over at least one portion of the circumference of the first substrate, at the first main surface of the first substrate; and placing the second main surface of the first substrate in contact with the second main surface of the second substrate such that a bonding wave propagates between the first and second substrates, securing the first and second substrates to one another by direct bonding such that portions of the second main surface of the first substrate located below the thinned portions of the first main surface of the first substrate are secured to the second substrate.
