Abstract: A technique for forming a film of material (12) from a donor substrate (10). The technique has a step of introducing energetic particles (22) in a selected manner through a surface of a donor substrate (10) to a selected depth (20) underneath the surface, where the particles have a relatively high concentration to define a donor substrate material (12) above the selected depth and the particles for a pattern at the selected depth. An energy source such as pressurized fluid is directed to a selected region of the donor substrate to initiate a controlled cleaving action of the substrate (10) at the selected depth (20), whereupon the cleaving action provides an expanding cleave front to free the donor material from a remaining portion of the donor substrate.

Abstract: A method for fabricating MEMS wherein a structural member is released without using a sacrificial layer. In one embodiment, the method comprises forming a buried hydrogen-rich layer in a semiconductor substrate, defining a release structure in the semiconductor substrate above the buried hydrogen-rich layer, and separating at least a portion of the release structure from the semiconductor substrate by cleaving the semiconductor substrate at the buried hydrogen-rich layer. The method can be used to fabricate hybrid devices wherein a MEMS device and a semiconductor device are formed on the same chip.

Abstract: A technique for forming films of material (12) from a donor substrate (10). The technique has a step of introducing energetic particles (22) through a surface of a donor substrate (10) to a selected depth (20) underneath the surface, where the particles have a relatively high concentration to define donor substrate material (12) above the selected depth. Energy is provided to a selected region of the substrate to cleave a thin film of material from the donor substrate. Particles are introduced again into the donor substrate underneath a fresh surface of the donor substrate. A second thin film of material is then cleaved from the donor substrate.
