Method of manufacturing semiconductor article

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor article comprises steps of forming a diffusion region at least on the surface of one of the sides of a silicon substrate by diffusing an element capable of controlling the conduction type, forming a porous silicon layer in a region including the diffusion region, preparing a first substrate by forming a nonporous semiconductor layer on the porous silicon layer, bonding the first substrate and a second substrate together to produce a multilayer structure with the nonporous semiconductor layer located inside splitting the multilayer structure along the porous silicon layer but not along the diffusion region and removing the porous silicon layer …
