Claim:
1. A method comprising: providing a carrier substrate, the carrier substrate comprising an edge of the carrier substrate, a first surface of the carrier substrate, and a second surface of the carrier substrate opposite the first surface of the carrier substrate; providing a cross-linking adhesive; providing a flexible substrate, the flexible substrate comprising an edge of the flexible substrate, a first surface of the flexible substrate, and a second surface of the flexible substrate opposite the first surface of the flexible substrate; coupling the second surface of the flexible substrate to the first surface of the carrier substrate using the cross-linking adhesive such that at least a portion of the edge of the flexible substrate is recessed from the edge of the carrier substrate and such that the cross-linking adhesive comprises an exposed portion of the cross-linking adhesive at an offset portion of the first surface of the carrier substrate between the at least the portion of the edge of the flexible substrate and the edge of the carrier substrate; and after coupling the second surface of the flexible substrate to the first surface of the carrier substrate, etching the exposed portion of the cross-linking adhesive.
