  • Patent number: 11279120
    Abstract: A device for debonding a structure from a main surface region of a carrier includes a tape for laminating to the structure, a first holder and a second holder for spanning the tape and to keep a tension of the tape. The second holder can be movable into a lifted position vertically offset to the main surface region of the carrier. The device can also include a deflecting-element for providing a deflection-line between the first holder and the second holder for deflecting the tape in response to moving the second holder into the lifted position. The deflecting-element can be moveable parallel to the carrier for moving the deflection-line parallel to the carrier and for debonding the structure, laminated to the tape, from the carrier.

  • Patent number: 10694584
    Abstract: A method for producing an infrared emitter arrangement is provided. The method includes providing a carrier. The carrier includes at least one infrared emitter structure at a first side of the carrier and at least one cutout at a second side of the carrier, said second side being situated opposite the first side of the carrier, wherein the at least one cutout extends from the second side of the carrier in the direction of the at least one infrared emitter structure. The method further includes securing an infrared filter layer structure at the second side of the carrier in such a way that the at least one cutout separates the at least one infrared emitter structure from the infrared filter layer structure.

  • 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.

  • 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.
