Abstract: A technique for forming a film of material (12) from a donor substrate (10). The technique has a step of forming a stressed region in a selected manner at a selected depth (20) underneath the surface. 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: The invention relates to a method for producing a multi-layer assembly. The method according to the invention comprises at least the following steps: providing a donor substrate (2) for removing a solid layer (4), in particular a wafer; producing modifications (12), in particular by means of laser beams (10), in the donor substrate (2) in order to specify a crack course; providing a carrier substrate (6) for holding the solid layer (4); bonding the carrier substrate (6) to the donor substrate (2) by means of a bonding layer (8), wherein the carrier substrate (6) is provided for increasing the mechanical strength of the solid layer (4) for the further processing, which solid layer is to be removed; arranging or producing a stress-producing layer (16) on the carrier substrate (6); thermally loading the stress-producing layer (16) in order to produce stresses in the donor substrate (2), wherein a crack is triggered by the stress production, which crack propagates along the specified crack course in order to remove the solid layer (4) from the donor substrate (2) such that the solid layer (4) is removed together with the bonded carrier substrate (6).

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) 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. An energy source 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.
