Claim:
1. A method, comprising: providing an at least partially sacrificial backing layer stack on a back surface of a semiconductor layer; controllably spelling the semiconductor layer by separating the semiconductor layer at a plane extending through the semiconductor layer parallel to the at least partially sacrificial backing layer stack; disposing a metal adhesion layer on an exposed front surface of the spalled semiconductor layer; bonding the metal adhesion layer to a front surface of a substrate by applying an epoxy adhesive to at least one of the metal adhesion layer and the front surface of the substrate; applying pressure to distribute the epoxy adhesive between the front surface of the substrate and the metal adhesion layer; removing at least a portion of the at least partially sacrificial backing layer stack from the back surface of the semiconductor layer; opening outgassing paths through the semiconductor layer; and processing the semiconductor layer.
