Patents by Inventor Mingyu ZHONG

Mingyu ZHONG has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20190103507
    Abstract: Embodiments transfer thin layers of material utilized in electronic devices (e.g., GaN for optoelectronic devices), from a donor to a handle substrate. Certain embodiments employ bond-and-release system(s) where release occurs along a cleave plane formed by implantation of particles into the donor. Some embodiments may rely upon release by converting components from solid to liquid under carefully controlled thermal conditions (e.g., solder-based materials and/or thermal decomposition of Indium-containing materials). Some embodiments utilize laser-induced film release processes using epitaxially grown or implanted regions as an optically absorptive region. A single bond-and-release sequence may involve processing an exposed N-face of GaN material. Multiple bond-and-release sequences (involving processing an exposed Ga-face of GaN material) may be employed in series, for example utilizing a temporary handle substrate as an intermediary.
