  • Publication number: 20240105491
    Abstract: A method includes transferring multiple discrete components from a first substrate to a second substrate, including illuminating multiple regions on a top surface of a dynamic release layer, the dynamic release layer adhering the multiple discrete components to the first substrate, each of the irradiated regions being aligned with a corresponding one of the discrete components. The illuminating induces a plastic deformation in each of the irradiated regions of the dynamic release layer. The plastic deformation causes at least some of the discrete components to be concurrently released from the first substrate.
