- a first object of the invention is to provide a ferroelectric layer in an integrated form on a substrate, of polarization having polarization domains of opposite orientations and perpendicular or oblique with respect to the plane of this layer and capable of being used for, for example, applications in nonlinear optics or surface acoustic waves.
- a second object of the invention is a manufacturing method for obtaining the integrated ferroelectric layer mentioned above.

- An advantage of the structure according to the invention is the provision of an integrated structure, including a substrate on which is fixed a ferroelectric layer having at least two distinct polarizations perpendicular or oblique to the extension planes of the layer and the substrate.
- a ferroelectric layer having at least two distinct polarizations perpendicular or oblique to the extension planes of the layer and the substrate.
- a second aspect of the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a structure whose polarization is locally controlled, comprising the steps of providing a ferroelectric element having a first polarization; selectively enriching the ferroelectric element with hydrogen ions through a face of the ferroelectric element; and applying an anneal to the ferroelectric element after introduction of the hydrogen ions, at a temperature between 400°C and 700°C, so as to switch the polarization of the ferroelectric layer in a volume defined by the selective introduction of the hydrogen ions.
- the method according to the invention is advantageous in that it is simple, flexible, and easily integrated into a broader manufacturing process based on known and proven manufacturing techniques from the semiconductor industry. In addition, it allows local control of the polarization of a ferroelectric element of which only one face is accessible and is therefore applicable to thin layers integrated on a substrate.
- the ferroelectric element 10 may be a ferroelectric single crystal as such, this single crystal may be in the form of a ferroelectric single crystal layer, this ferroelectric crystal or this ferroelectric single crystal layer may be fixed on a support Sprt within a structure Struct, like the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay illustrated in (D) of the .
- FIGS 1 to 3 illustrate a first embodiment, in which the ferroelectric element 10 is a ferroelectric single crystal as such, that is to say without it being fixed to a support.
- this embodiment takes the example of a polarization perpendicular to the plane of extension of the ferroelectric element 10.
- the “perpendicular” characteristic means an inclination of 90° relative to the plane of extension of the ferroelectric element to within 10°
- the “oblique” characteristic means an inclination of at least 5° from the plane of extension of the ferroelectric element.
- a direction having an inclination in the range of 5° to 80°, or 30° to 70°, or 35° to 60° can thus be considered oblique.
- a 50RY LiTaO3 layer and a 42RY LiTaO3 layer have polarizations tilted 50° and 42° relative to the layer extension plane, respectively, hence oblique polarizations relative to the layer extension plane.
- the ferroelectric element 10 is selectively enriched with hydrogen by selective ion implantation of hydrogen ion H + , at an implantation energy of between 3 keV and 210 keV.
- the selectivity of the implantation can be ensured by the formation of a mask M by a conventional lithography process, in resin, metal, oxide, nitride or any other material capable of stopping hydrogen ions during the implantation, so that the regions of the ferroelectric element covered by the mask do not receive hydrogen.
- the pattern formed by the mask M can consist of a periodic pattern, for example consisting of strips of the same width parallel to each other at constant spacing as illustrated in (B P ) with a top view in the YX plane. Following the implantation, the mask M is, in this example, removed.
- This step results in the formation of relatively hydrogen-rich volumes V in the ferroelectric element 10, with a surface area corresponding to the negative of the pattern of the mask M and a depth depending on the acceleration energy of the implantation step.
- the volumes V thus form a periodic pattern in a direction included in a plane parallel to the extension plane of the ferroelectric element 10, i.e. in a direction included on an external surface of the ferroelectric element 10.
- the implantation dose is adapted to the implantation energy so as to obtain a hydrogen density of between 10 19 and 10 22 atoms/cm 3 in the volumes V. It is also possible to carry out several successive implantations at different implantation energies in order to better define the volumes V by homogenizing the distribution of the implanted hydrogen.
- the polarization of the entire ferroelectric element 10 remains unchanged in the implanted areas, the implanted areas and the non-implanted areas still forming a single monodomain in which the polarization has only one orientation.
- the YX and ZX planes are defined by the X, Y Z axes of an orthogonal reference frame, the YX plane being defined by the Y and X axes of the reference frame, the ZX plane being defined by the Z and X axes of the reference frame.
- the Sup and Inf faces of the ferroelectric element 10 extend parallel to the YX plane, perpendicular to the Z axis which defines the thickness of the ferroelectric element 10.
- selective implantation or selective enrichment means implantation or enrichment at certain regions of the ferroelectric element 10, chosen by the practitioner and here defined by the pattern of the mask M.
- a step S20 the ferroelectric element 10 selectively enriched in hydrogen is subjected to annealing at a temperature between 400°C and 800°C, preferably between 500 and 700°C, more preferably between 550°C and 600°C.
- This annealing step results in an inversion of the first polarization P1 of the ferroelectric element 10 only at the hydrogen-enriched volumes V to give a second polarization P2, of the same alignment direction as the first polarization P1 but of the opposite direction to it, specific to the hydrogen-enriched volumes V as illustrated in (C0).
- Antiparallel polarizations are defined as polarizations aligned in parallel directions but in opposite directions.
- parallel polarizations are defined as polarizations aligned in parallel directions and in the same direction.
- the inversion of the polarization only at the level of the volumes V causes the transition from a configuration of parallel polarizations between the volumes V and the rest of the ferroelectric element 10 to a configuration of antiparallel polarizations.
- the annealing is preferably carried out under an oxygen atmosphere to reduce the exodiffusion of oxygen from the ferroelectric layer, but can also be carried out for example under a nitrogen or air atmosphere, at atmospheric pressure for a duration of between 100 seconds and 10 hours.
- the volumes V define a second zone having a second polarization P2 different from, and in fact opposite to, a first polarization P1 of a first zone defined by the volume of the ferroelectric material included in the ferroelectric element 10 from which the second zone is removed.
- the first and second zones are complementary, their sum forming the total volume of the ferroelectric material included in the ferroelectric element 10, i.e. the entirety of a ferroelectric crystal when the ferroelectric element 10 is made of such a crystal.
- the first zone and the second zone may be formed of disjoint volumes or form continuous volumes, depending on the shape given to the selective implantation region and its depth.
- the second zone is enriched with hydrogen, so that the second zone has a higher hydrogen concentration than the first zone.
- FIG. 3 There illustrates a sectional view (C3) and a plan view (C3 P ) corresponding to (C0) and (C0 P ) respectively illustrating a variant in the method at step S10, in which the mask M is not removed following the hydrogen implantation and step S20 is applied while the mask is still present.
- the polarization inversion at the selectively hydrogen-enriched areas normally takes place at step S20.
- This variant can be used for example in the case where it would be desirable to precisely align electrodes at reversed polarization areas. In such a case, a self-alignment of the hydrogen-enriched areas on the electrodes used as a mask for the selective hydrogen enrichment is actually carried out.
- the selective polarization inversion method described above is implemented by acting on only one face of the ferroelectric element. This feature therefore offers the possibility of controlling the polarization of a ferroelectric element whose rear face is inaccessible or too far from the front face, ensuring great flexibility in the application of the method and its applicability to different geometries.
- this first embodiment is illustrative and is not limited to controlling the polarization of a simple ferroelectric crystal, but can also be applied to more complex structures, as will become apparent in the remainder of this presentation.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 The above-described selective polarization inversion method is illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 in the situation where it is applied to a single ferroelectric crystal, used as the ferroelectric element 10.
- This selective inversion method can also be applied to an assembly formed by a ferroelectric crystal integrated on a substrate, this assembly then being able to constitute the ferroelectric element 10 illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 3.
- the Struct structure can be in the form of a circular plate whose diameter can be 100, 200, 300 or even 450 mm, but the invention is in no way limited to these dimensions or to this shape.
- the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay is made of a single-crystal ferroelectric material, such as lithium tantalate LiTaO 3 or lithium niobate LiNbO3, or materials such as LiAlO 3 , BaTiO 3 , PbZrTiO 3 , KNbO 3 , BaZrO 3 , CaTiO 3 , PbTiO 3 or KTaO 3 . These materials also have piezoelectric properties.
- the ferroelectric layer may have a thickness of between 10 nanometers and 10 micrometers, depending on the intended application of the structure Struct and the expected performance of the components, but the invention does not exclude the use of different thicknesses, always depending on the intended application.
- a ferroelectric material is a material that has an electric polarization in its natural state, a polarization that can be reversed by applying an external electric field greater than the coercive field of the material.
- the ferroelectric layer preferably has a first single-domain polarization P1, i.e. all the dipole moments are aligned parallel to each other in a given direction.
- the given direction is the perpendicular to the plane of the ferroelectric layer, i.e. perpendicular to the free face of this layer, or perpendicular to a surface plane of this layer.
- the Sprt support is preferably chosen, for its part, in silicon. It may be a support consisting of a solid base substrate in monocrystalline silicon, but the invention is not limited to this support which may, more generally, be made of any material, for example silicon, even electrically insulating such as sapphire or glass.
- the Sprt support when it is formed of a solid substrate, typically has a thickness of several hundred micrometers. In monocrystalline silicon, the Sprt support is electrically conductive, but, preferably, has a high resistivity, greater than 1000 ohms. This limits the density of charges, holes or electrons, which are likely to move, which could affect the proper functioning of an RF component that would be formed on the basis of the Struct structure. But the invention is not limited to a support having such characteristics.
- the Sprt support can be provided with a charge trapping layer which is a non-monocrystalline layer having structural defects such as dislocations, grain boundaries, amorphous zones, interstices, inclusions, pores, etc. These structural defects form traps for charges likely to circulate in the material, for example at the level of incomplete or dangling chemical bonds. This prevents conduction in the trapping layer which consequently has a high resistivity. Its thickness, in particular when it is formed on a resistive support, can be between 0.1 ⁇ m and 3 ⁇ m. However, other thicknesses lower or higher than this range are entirely possible, depending on the level of performance expected from the structure 1.
- this trapping layer is formed of a layer of polycrystalline silicon.
- This trapping layer is, when present, located on the side of the Diel dielectric layer.
- Other layers, dielectric or electrically conductive, having functionalities deemed useful by the practitioner according to the type of applications envisaged may also be present, adjacent to the Diel dielectric layer.
- the Diel dielectric layer can have a thickness of between a few nanometers and several micrometers, for example 5 micrometers or more. It can typically be formed of an amorphous material, such as silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride or silicon nitride silicon dioxide. It can also be an oxide such as Ta2O5, ZrO2 or HfO or Al2O3.
- the Sprt support can be prepared by adding a dielectric layer Diel as illustrated in (A).
- This dielectric layer can be formed from a stack of dielectric layers of different nature, for example chosen from the materials listed above.
- the dielectric layer Diel can be produced directly on the Sprt support using different techniques known in the state of the art, such as oxidation or nitriding heat treatments, chemical deposition using techniques called LPCVD (acronym for the English expression “Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition” or chemical vapor deposition at subatmospheric pressure) or PECVD (acronym for the English expression “Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition” or plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition) or PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) or ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition).
- LPCVD acronym for the English expression “Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition” or chemical vapor deposition at subatmospheric pressure
- PECVD acrony
- the Ferro sub donor substrate illustrated in (B) is a substrate made of the ferroelectric material of the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay , or comprising a surface thickness of this material.
- the donor substrate may, for example, be formed of a bulk substrate of lithium tantalate or lithium niobate, or of a composite substrate formed of a first substrate on which rests a thickness (at least equal to that of the Ferro lay layer) of lithium tantalate or lithium niobate.
- the donor substrate preferably has a first single-domain polarization P1 perpendicular to the implantation face Imp by which the hydrogen ions are implanted in the donor substrate. This orientation is conventionally done by choosing the growth mode of the crystal and its cutting plane.
- the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay can be transferred from the ferroelectric donor substrate Ferro sub by implementing the Smart Cut TM technology, in which case the donor substrate must be prepared by introducing light species such as hydrogen or helium into this donor substrate.
- This introduction can correspond to a hydrogen implantation, i.e., an ion bombardment of hydrogen of a planar face Imp donor substrate Ferro sub .
- the implanted hydrogen ions H + are intended to form a weakening plane Frgl delimiting the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay of ferroelectric material to be transferred which is located on the side of the face Imp and another part Ferro sep forming the remainder of the substrate and which will be separated from the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay at a later stage.
- the dose of the implanted species and the implantation energy are chosen according to the thickness of the layer that we wish to transfer and the physicochemical properties of the Ferro sub donor substrate.
- a dose of hydrogen between 10 16 and 5.10 17 at/cm2 with an energy between 30 and 300 keV to delimit a Ferro lay ferroelectric layer of the order of 200 to 2000 nm thick.
- the Sprt support substrate may have the same size and shape as the Ferro sub donor substrate, but the invention is not limited to such a configuration and different sizes and shapes may be employed.
- Prior to assembly it may be considered to prepare the faces of the substrates to be assembled by a cleaning, brushing, drying, polishing step, or plasma activation.
- the assembly may correspond to the intimate contact of the Ferro sub donor substrate with the Sprt support by molecular adhesion and/or electrostatic bonding.
- a function of the dielectric layer Diel formed on the Sprt support is to facilitate the assembly.
- the exposed surfaces of the Sprt support and the Ferro sub donor substrate are brought into intimate contact to promote the development of molecular bonds, for example of the van der Waals or covalent type.
- the assembly of the two bodies is then obtained without the use of an adhesive.
- the assembly may include the application of a low temperature heat treatment (e.g., 50 to 300°C, typically 100°C) to heal crystal defects in the ferroelectric layer and to enhance the bonding energy sufficiently to allow a possible subsequent thinning step.
- a low temperature heat treatment e.g., 50 to 300°C, typically 100°C
- the step of detaching a portion of the donor substrate is carried out by applying Smart CutTM technology, according to which a layer intended to form the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay is delimited by the embrittlement plane Frgl. After the assembly step, this layer is detached from the donor substrate by fracture at the embrittlement plane Frgl and thus transferred to the support Sprt.
- This detachment step may thus comprise the application to the intermediate structure Struct inter of a heat treatment in a temperature range of the order of 80°C to 300°C to allow the detachment of the part of the donor substrate from the ferroelectric layer Ferrol ay and the transfer of the latter onto the support substrate Sprt.
- this step may comprise the application of a blade or a jet of gaseous or liquid fluid, or any other mechanical force at the embrittlement plane Frgl.
- the step of detaching a part of the donor substrate can be replaced by a step of mechanical-chemical thinning of this donor ferroelectric substrate Ferro sub .
- any type of finishing treatment may be applied to the structure Struct thus formed to conform the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay to specifications of thickness, thickness uniformity, roughness, crystal quality or any other type of specifications.
- the assembly can cause an accumulation of hydrogen at the interface between the dielectric layer and the ferroelectric layer, constituting a hydrogen concentration gradient making possible the multidomain transformation of a portion of the ferroelectric layer in contact with the assembly layer during the heat treatment of separation of the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay from the ferroelectric substrate Ferro sub .
- the dielectric layer Diel it can be ensured that it has a lower hydrogen concentration than that present in the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay , so that the excess hydrogen in the ferroelectric layer can be absorbed into the dielectric layer during the diffusion caused by the heat treatment for separating the Ferro sep layer. This prevents the accumulation of hydrogen at the assembly interface and avoids a multidomain transformation in the portion of the ferroelectric layer near this interface.
- the hydrogen concentration of the dielectric layer Diel can be reduced for example by means of an annealing step of the dielectric layer Diel which aims to bring this dielectric layer to a temperature higher than that of the heat treatment for preparing the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay reported, which will be presented later in this description. It is thus possible to bring this layer to an annealing temperature of 600°C, 700°C, or even 800°C or more.
- the average hydrogen concentration in the dielectric layer, after this exodiffusion step can thus be less than 5.10 20 at/cm ⁇ 3, or advantageously less than 10 18 at/cm 3 .
- a preparation heat treatment can be applied to it followed by a thinning step.
- the preparation heat treatment makes it possible to cure crystalline defects present in the ferroelectric layer. In addition, it contributes to consolidating the bonding between this ferroelectric layer Ferro lay and the support Sprt. It also has the effect, if it has a sufficient temperature, of causing the diffusion of hydrogen contained in the ferroelectric layer and the multidomain transformation of a surface portion of this ferroelectric layer. This surface portion can have a thickness of the order of 50 nm or less and develop over the entire extent of the ferroelectric layer. At the end of the preparation heat treatment, the ferroelectric layer has a relatively constant hydrogen concentration in its thickness.
- this preparatory heat treatment is intended to bring the ferroelectric layer to a temperature between 300°C and the Curie temperature of the ferroelectric material (and preferably greater than or equal to 450°C, 500° or 550° to promote the diffusion of hydrogen) for a period of between 30 minutes and 10 hours.
- This heat treatment is preferably carried out by exposing the free face of the dielectric layer to an oxidizing or neutral gas atmosphere, i.e. without covering this face of the thin layer with a protective layer that could prevent the exodiffusion of hydrogen.
- the ferroelectric layer is thinned.
- This thinning may correspond to the polishing of the free face of the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay , for example by mechanical, mechanical-chemical and/or chemical etching thinning techniques. It makes it possible to prepare the free face so that it has a low roughness, for example less than 0.5 nm RMS 5x5 ⁇ m by atomic force measurement (AFM) and to remove the multidomain surface portion of the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay .
- a removal of 100 to 300 nm of thickness is generally planned to reach the target thickness of the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay , and in all cases a thickness greater than that of the multidomain surface portion. This forms a single-domain thin layer having the desired qualities of surface state, crystalline quality and polarization.
- a selective polarization inversion as illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 applied to the Struct structure illustrated in (D) of the allows to form the Struct structure illustrated in (D) of the .
- Solution 1 illustrates a method of assembling a Ferro sub donor substrate preferably having a first monodomain P1 polarization perpendicular to a planar face of the substrate. Subsequently, a selective polarization inversion can be applied to the Ferro lay ferroelectric layer of the Struct structure obtained to arrive at two vertical polarizations of opposite directions within this ferroelectric layer.
- This section presents an alternative solution 2 to solution 1 in that instead of applying selective polarization reversal after assembly, selective polarization reversal is applied to a donor ferroelectric substrate before assembly, as illustrated by .
- the Ferro sub donor substrate has two vertical polarizations P1 and P2 of opposite directions.
- Such a substrate can for example be obtained from a monodomain polarization substrate by selective polarization inversion as illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 3 and the associated manufacturing method.
- a surface acoustic wave Dev SAW device can be fabricated from a ferroelectric layer whose polarization has been selectively modified.
- Such a device illustrated by the plan view of the and by illustrating a sectional view along the XX' axis of the , conventionally comprises interdigitated electrodes formed directly on the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay . It is advantageous to use these electrodes El as a mask M, then indicated as M/El in Figures 6 and 7, during the selective introduction of hydrogen to the ferroelectric layer. Indeed, this process makes it possible to obtain a self-alignment of the volumes V of reversed polarization with the interdigitated electrodes M/El. We thus find the configuration indicated by (C3) in the .
- C3 the configuration indicated by (C3) in the .
- step S20 intended to reverse the first polarization P1 of the ferroelectric layer Ferro lay to obtain, in the volumes V enriched in hydrogen, a second polarization P2 opposite to the first polarization P1.
