| 20110230035 | Transfer Method for Thin Film Nanomembrane Structures - A transfer process for silicon nanomembranes (SiNM) may involve treating a recipient substrate with a polymer structural support. After treating the recipient substrate, a substrate containing the intended transferable devices may be brought in direct contact with the aforementioned polymer layer. The two substrates may then go through a Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE) to remove at least a portion of the substrate containing the devices. Oxide may be selectively removed with a buffered oxide wet etch, leaving the transferred SiNM on the recipient substrate with the Underlying polymer layer. | 09-22-2011 |
