Process for fabrication of a structure with a view to a subsequent separation
Abstract:
A process for fabrication of a structure includes assembling at least two substrates. At least one of these two substrates is intended to be used in electronics, optics, optoelectronics and/or photovoltaics. The structure includes at least two separation interfaces extending parallel to the main faces of the structure. The assembling process is carried out with a view to a separation of the structure along one interface selected from the interfaces, the separation being carried out by inserting a blade between the substrates and applying a parting force, via the blade. The interface chosen for the separation is formed so that it is more sensitive than the other interface(s) to stress corrosion. Separation occurs due to the combined action of the parting force and of a fluid capable of breaking siloxane (Si—O—Si) bonds present at the interface. A structure obtained by such a process may be separated along the chosen interface.
