Abstract: The invention broadly relates to release layer compositions that enable thin wafer handling during microelectronics manufacturing. Preferred release layers are formed from compositions comprising a polyamic acid or polyimide dissolved or dispersed in a solvent system, followed by curing and/or solvent removal at about 250° C. to about 350° C. for less than about 10 minutes, yielding a thin film. This process forms the release compositions into polyimide release layers that can be used in temporary bonding processes, and laser debonded after the desired processing has been carried out.

Abstract: Ferrous metal alloys including Fe, Co and optionally Ni with metalloids Si, B and P are provided that are substantially close to the peak in glass forming ability and have a combination of both good glass formability and good ferromagnetic properties. In particular, Fe/Co-based compositions wherein the Co content is between 15 and 30 atomic percent and the metalloid content is between 22 and 24 atomic percent at a well-defined metalloid moiety, have been shown to be capable of forming bulk glassy rods with diameters as large as 4 mm or larger. In addition, incorporating a small content of Ni under 10 atomic percent and additions of Mo, Cr, Nb, Ge, or C at an incidental impurity level of up to 2 atomic percent are not expected to impair the bulk-glass-forming ability of the present alloys.
