  • Patent number: 11799055
    Abstract: A method of producing microelectronic components includes forming a functional layer system; applying a laminar carrier to the functional layer system; attaching a workpiece to a workpiece carrier; utilizing incident radiation of a laser beam is focused in a boundary region between a growth substrate and the functional layer system, and a bond between the growth substrate and the functional layer system in the boundary region is weakened or destroyed; separating a functional layer stack from the growth substrate, wherein a vacuum gripper having a sealing zone that circumferentially encloses an inner region is applied to the reverse side of the growth substrate, a negative pressure is generated in the inner region such that separation of the functional layer stack from the growth substrate is initiated in the inner region; and the growth substrate held on the vacuum gripper is removed from the functional layer stack.
