ABSTRACT:
An approach for providing a cleave initiation using a varying ion implant dose is described. In one embodiment, there is a method of forming a substrate. In this embodiment, a semiconductor material is provided and implanted with a spatially varying dose of one or more ion species. A handler substrate is attached to the implanted semiconductor material. A cleave of the implanted semiconductor material is initiated from the handler substrate at a preferential location that is a function of a dose gradient that develops from the spatially varying dose of one or more ion species implanted into the semiconductor material.
