  • Patent number: 10204792
    Abstract: A method for producing a thin substrate layer having a thickness of at most 100 ?m by detaching a substrate layer from the ingot by producing a tensile stress induction on an ingot, and wherein the tensile stress induction is effected by a stressor layer structure integrally bonded to a first surface of the ingot. The stressor layer structure and the ingot have different thermal expansion coefficients, and the stressor layer structure is removed from the substrate layer after detachment of the substrate layer from the ingot. The stressor layer structure has at least one layer sequence with a first titanium-containing layer and a nickel-containing layer. The titanium-containing layer adjoins with a bottom side a first surface of the ingot and the nickel-containing layer adjoins with a bottom side a top side of the titanium-containing layer.

  • Patent number: 10170311
    Abstract: A method including: providing a structure comprising: a spalled layer having a first side and a second side; and a tape layer provided on the first side of the spalled layer, wherein the tape layer is provided at below a first temperature range; applying a temporary substrate layer to the second side of the spalled layer, wherein the temporary substrate layer is applied at a second temperature range, and wherein at least a portion of the second temperature range is lower than the first temperature range; and after applying the temporary substrate layer, separating the tape layer from the spalled layer.
