Patent ID: 8916954

Claim:
A method of forming an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of: a. providing a donor body comprising a top surface; b. implanting the top surface of the donor body with an ion dosage to form a cleave plane; c. exfoliating a lamina from the donor body, wherein the step of exfoliating the lamina forms a first surface of the lamina, wherein the top surface of the donor body becomes a second surface of the lamina, wherein the first surface is opposite the second surface, wherein the lamina is between 2 and 40 microns thick between the first surface and the second surface, and wherein the lamina has a first coefficient of thermal expansion; and d. after the step of exfoliating, constructing a flexible metal support on the lamina, wherein the flexible metal support has a second coefficient of thermal expansion, and wherein the second coefficient of thermal expansion is within 10% of the first coefficient of thermal expansion of the lamina between the temperatures of 100 and 600° C.
