  • Separation of glass shapes using engineered induced thermal gradients after process cutting
    Patent number: 10689286
    Abstract: A method includes cutting an outer diameter into a glass substrate. An inner diameter within the outer diameter is also cut into the glass substrate. A first region inside the outer diameter and a second region inside the inner diameter are heated. The second region inside the inner diameter is cooled, wherein the cooling causes the second region to detach from the first region.
    Type: Grant
