Patent ID: 7371660

Claim:
A method for forming multilayered substrates for flat panel displays, the method comprising: providing a donor substrate comprising an overlying a film of silicon material to be detached, the donor substrate having a cleave region formed within a vicinity of between the film of silicon material and a lower portion of the donor substrate; coupling a surface region of the film of silicon material from the donor substrate to a dielectric handle substrate; applying a voltage between the donor substrate including the film of silicon material and the dielectric handle substrate to induce bonding between the surface region of the film of silicon material and the dielectric handle substrate; and initiating a cleaving action to remove the film of silicon material using a propagating cleave front to form a multi-layered substrate, wherein the multi-layered substrate comprises the film of silicon material overlying the dielectric handle substrate, and wherein the voltage between the donor substrate and the handle substrate is provided by an electro-static bonding process.
