Abstract
A process for detaching a silicon thin film from a donor substrate by cleaving, includes implanting species within the donor substrate to form a weak layer. The species are implanted at a depth at least equal to the thickness of the thin film to be detached. There is a heat treatment at 450° C. or more and cleaving is along the weak layer. The implanting species includes implanting boron, helium and hydrogen with implantation energies such that: helium and boron concentration maxima are obtained at substantially the same depth, separated by at most 10 nm; and a hydrogen concentration maximum is obtained at a depth at least 20 nm greater than that of the helium and boron concentration maxima. The implantation dose of boron is at least equal to 5×10B/cmand the dose of helium and hydrogen is at least 10atoms/cmand at most 4×10atoms/cm.
