1. A method of forming a silicon-on-insulator-on-porous-silicon (Si/I/pSi) wafer comprising:
forming a porous silicon layer on a silicon substrate;
depositing a polysilicon layer on the porous silicon layer;
implanting a H2 layer within a donor wafer such that the donor wafer has a surface silicon layer;
depositing an insulator layer on the surface silicon layer of the donor wafer;
bonding the insulator layer to the polysilicon layer to create a bonded pair; and
splitting the bonded pair through the H2 implanted layer in donor wafer leaving a portion of the silicon layer disposed upon the insulator layer to form a silicon layer of the Si/I/pSi wafer.
