  • Method for handling a product substrate and a bonded substrate system
    Patent number: 10600690
    Abstract: A method for handling a product substrate includes bonding a carrier to the product substrate by: applying a layer of a temporary adhesive having a first coefficient of thermal expansion onto a surface of the carrier; and bonding the carrier to the product substrate using the applied temporary adhesive. A surface of the temporary adhesive is in direct contact to a surface of the product substrate. The temporary adhesive includes or is adjacent a filler material having a second coefficient of thermal expansion which is smaller than the first coefficient of thermal expansion, so that stress occurs inside the temporary adhesive layer or at an interface to the product substrate or the carrier during cooling down of the temporary adhesive layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Bonded system and a method for adhesively bonding a hygroscopic material
    Patent number: 10332814
    Abstract: A bonded system includes a reconstituted wafer including a hygroscopic material. A moisture barrier layer is arranged over a surface of the reconstituted wafer. An adhesive layer is arranged over a surface of the moisture barrier opposite the reconstituted wafer. A carrier is arranged over a surface of the adhesive layer opposite the moisture barrier. The adhesive layer adhesively bonds the reconstituted wafer and the carrier together.

  • Method for handling a product substrate, a bonded substrate system and a temporary adhesive
    Patent number: 10056295
    Abstract: A method for handling a product substrate includes bonding a carrier to the product substrate. A layer of a permanent adhesive is applied onto a surface of the carrier. A structured intermediate layer is provided. The applied permanent adhesive bonds the carrier to the product substrate. The structured intermediate layer is arranged between the product substrate and the carrier. A surface of the structured intermediate layer and a surface of the permanent adhesive are in direct contact to a surface of the product substrate. The structured intermediate layer decreases a bonding strength between the product substrate and the carrier.
