Abstract

See full text

A method of removing a semiconductor device layer from a base substrate is provided that includes providing a crack propagation layer on an upper surface of a base substrate. A semiconductor device layer including at least one semiconductor device is formed on the crack propagation layer. Next, end portions of the crack propagation layer are etched to initiate a crack in the crack propagation layer. The etched crack propagation layer is then cleaved to provide a cleaved crack propagation layer portion to a surface of the semiconductor device layer and another cleaved crack propagation layer portion to the upper surface of the base substrate. The cleaved crack propagation layer portion is removed from the surface of the semiconductor device layer and the another cleaved crack propagation layer portion is removed from the upper surface of the base substrate.
