Abstract
A process for fabricating a heterostructure by bonding a first wafer to a second wafer, with the first wafer having a thermal expansion coefficient that is lower than the thermal expansion coefficient of the second wafer, and conducting at least one bond-strengthening annealing step. After the bonding step and before the bond-strengthening annealing step, at least one trimming step is conducted in which the first wafer is at least partially trimmed.
