Patent ID: 7772088

Claim:
A method for manufacturing one or more devices on multi-layered substrates, the method comprising: providing a handle substrate, the handle substrate having a first deflection characteristic, the handle substrate having a backside and a face; determining a desired thickness of a backing substrate such that the backing substrate being adequate to cause the first deflection characteristic of the handle substrate to be reduced to a predetermined level, the predetermined level being a suitable deflection characteristic for a thickness of material to be transferred onto the face of the handle substrate; coupling the backing substrate having the desired thickness to the backside of the handle substrate to form a multilayered structure; providing a donor substrate comprising a cleave region, the thickness of material, and a surface region, the cleave region being within the donor substrate to define the thickness of material, the thickness of material being provided between the cleave region and the surface region; bonding the surface region of the donor substrate to the face of the handle substrate, while the backing substrate remains attached with the handle substrate to maintain at least the deflection characteristic; initiating a controlled cleaving process within a portion of the cleave region of the donor substrate to begin removal of the thickness of material from the donor substrate at a portion of the cleave region; removing the thickness of material from the donor substrate; and forming one or more devices on a portion of the thickness of material.
