Abstract

See full text

Layer transfer approaches are described to take advantage of large area, thin inorganic foils formed onto a porous release layer. In particular, since the inorganic foils can be formed from ceramics and/or crystalline materials that do not bend a large amount, approaches are described to provide for gradual pulling along an edge to separate the foil from a holding surface along a curved surface designed to not excessively bend the foil such that the foil is not substantially damaged in the transfer process. Apparatuses are described to perform the transfer with a rocking motion or with a rotating cylindrical surface. Furthermore, stabilization of porous release layers can improve the qualities of resulting inorganic foils formed on the release layer. In particular, flame treatments can provide improved release layer properties, and the deposition of an interpenetrating stabilization composition can be deposited using CVD to stabilize a porous layer.
