  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFER FOR FILMS AMONG SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20170080696
    Abstract: A method is disclosed which includes: forming at least one layer of material on at least part of a surface of a first substrate, wherein a first surface of the at least one layer of material is in contact with the first substrate thereby defining an interface; attaching a second substrate to a second surface of the at least one layer of material; forming bubbles at the interface; and applying mechanical force; whereby the second substrate and the at least one layer of material are jointly separated from the first substrate. Related arrangements are also described.
    Type: Application
