Abstract
A method of transferring a thin layer from a first substrate to a second substrate with different coefficients of thermal expansion, including: providing at least one intermediate layer which temperature is increased by induction when an electromagnetic field is applied to it, more than a temperature increase in the first and second substrates; making contact between the first substrate and the second substrate, with the at least one intermediate layer interposed between them; fracturing the first substrate at a weakened zone making use of supply of thermal energy at the weakened zone made by applying an electromagnetic field to a heterostructure formed by making contact between the first substrate and the second substrate, the application generating local induction heating in the intermediate layer that induces a temperature gradient with a local value at the weakened zone activating the fracture mechanism.
