Abstract
A method for producing a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor substrate for use in epitaxial methods of a semiconductor material are described. The semiconductor substrate includes a support slice, an intermediate layer situated on the support slice, and an active layer situated on the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer includes a material which has a reduced viscosity or flows when the semiconductor substrate is used in an epitaxial method in order to enable at least a partial adaptation of a crystal lattice of the active layer to a crystal lattice of the semiconductor material at the transition between the active layer and the semiconductor material.
