  • Patent number: 8778118
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of laser processed parts in which at least a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on a base material as a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for laser processing, using a material having specified physical properties. This method comprises adhering the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for laser processing to the laser beam exit side of the work by way of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, processing the work by irradiating the work with a laser beam of within 2 times of the irradiation intensity for forming a through-hole in the work, at higher than the irradiation intensity of threshold for inducing ablation of the work, and peeling the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for laser processing from the work after the machining. Therefore, contamination of the work surface by decomposition products can be effectively suppressed, and laser processed parts can be manufactured easily and at high production efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8771442
    Abstract: New compositions and methods of using those compositions as bonding compositions are provided. The compositions comprise a cycloolefin copolymer dispersed or dissolved in a solvent system, and can be used to bond an active wafer to a carrier wafer or substrate to assist in protecting the active wafer and its active sites during subsequent processing and handling. The compositions form bonding layers that are chemically and thermally resistant, but that can also be softened or dissolved to allow the wafers to slide or be pulled apart at the appropriate stage in the fabrication process.

  • Patent number: 8764998
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite substrate that prevents undesirable effects of etching a thin film includes a pattern forming step, an ion implanting step, a bonding step, and a separation step. In the pattern forming step, a pattern region and a reverse pattern region are formed on a principal surface of a functional material substrate. In the ion implanting step, by implanting ions into the functional material substrate, a separation layer is formed inside at a certain distance from the surface of each of the pattern region and the reverse pattern region. In the bonding step, the functional material substrate at the pattern region is bonded to a supporting substrate. In the separation step, the pattern region is separated from the functional material substrate, and the reverse pattern region is made to fall off.
