Definitions
- Implementations of the present disclosure relate to apparatus, systems, and methods of using a retaining device, for example in relation to light-emitting diode (LED) laser lift-off (LLO).
- a retaining device e.g., docking device
- Optical devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) may be initially formed as a thin layer on a substrate (growth substrate), for example sapphire.
- the growth substrate with thin layer may be adhered to an interposer.
- Laser liftoff (LLO) is a process that can be used to separate the thin layers from the growth substrate, leaving the thin layer on another surface, such as the interposer (e.g., a polymer firm, stamp, or adhesive film).
- LLO may use a homogenized ultraviolet (UV) wavelength laser beam having a working wavelength (e.g., deep UV, such as a 248 nm wavelength laser).
- UV homogenized ultraviolet
- the substrate is transparent to the working wavelength, and the target layer (e.g., gallium nitride (GaN)) is opaque to the working wavelength.
- the laser beam is directed towards the target layer, passing through the transparent support (e.g. sapphire, glass). Energy of the laser beam is absorbed in the opaque layer, creating a plasma at the interface, vaporizing the target layer at the interface, allow for clean debonding of the thin layer of devices from the grown substrate.
- the transparent substrate serves as a carrier, allowing easy and safe manipulation of the relatively fragile target layer to fabricate thin and complex structures, such as those used in LED displays (e.g., ultra LED displays).
- the process of vaporing the target layer during LLO may cause undesirable shift, fly away, or other displacement of the thin layer and its optical devices.
- vaporizing GaN during LLO generates nitrogen gas that could displace the detached optical devices by overcoming the adhesive force with the underlying interposer.
- displacement can impact the subsequent alignment of the optical devices to the backplanes of active displays.
- a retaining device includes a base plate; a sealing ring disposed on the base plate and defining a sealed area within the sealing ring, the sealing ring having a first surface on the base plate and second surface operable to contact a chuck to provide a holding force for a substrate to be retained; and a compliant layer disposed on the base plate within the sealed area, forming an area operable to receive the substrate that is adhered to an interposer disposed on the chuck, and operable to contact the interposer.
- LED light-emitting diode
- LLO laser lift-off
- a system for LLO includes a chuck to retain a substrate that is adhered to an interposer, a retaining device comprising a base plate, a sealing ring, and a compliant layer, the sealing ring disposed on the base plate and defining a sealed area within the sealing ring, the sealing ring having a first surface on the base plate and second surface operable to contact the chuck to provide a holding force for the substrate, and the compliant layer disposed on the base plate within the sealed area, forming an area operable to receive the substrate, and operable to contact the interposer, and a laser light source configured to apply laser light to the substrate through the base plate to lift off one or more optical devices formed on the substrate.
- a method for retaining a substrate includes disposing a work piece on a chuck, the work piece comprising the substrate adhered to an interposer, applying a retaining device to the work piece and chuck, the retaining device comprising a base plate, a sealing ring defining a sealed area and contacting the chuck, and a compliant layer within the sealed area, contacting the interposer, and the compliant layer forming an area operable to receive the substrate, and providing a holding force between the work piece and the retaining device to retain the substrate.

- the compliant layer 116 may be separated into multiple (two or more) portions.
- Compliant layer 116 may be lithographically-patterned or formed on base plate 112.
- the compliant layer 116 Separation between the portions of the compliant layer 116 may form one or more air channels that allow for the passage of gases, for example when a suction (vacuum) source is applied.
- the opening in compliant layer 116 that is sized to receive the substrate 122 may also be sized or otherwise operable to provide air channels around the edges of substrate 122 to allow for the passage of gases away from substrate 122, including when the laser light is applied during LLO.
- the compliant layer 116 may be of a substantially same thickness as substrate 122. In one or more implementations, the compliant layer 116 is between 100 percent and 101 percent a thickness of a stack height that includes the substrate 122.
- the compliant layer 116 may be of a relatively rigid material (e.g., relatively more rigid than the compliant layer formed of the type of polymer described above where the compliant layer 116 is between 100 percent and 101 percent a thickness of the stack height). In one or more implementations, the compliant layer 116 is between 99 percent and 100 percent a thickness of the stack height that includes the substrate 122.
- the sealing ring 114 may be disposed or otherwise affixed to base plate 112.
- sealing ring 114 may bound (define, enclose) a sealing area that includes the compliant layer 116.
- the sealing ring 114 may an O-ring, though other sealing profiles and cross sections may be used consistent with the description herein.
- the sealing ring 114 may have an x profile, square or rectangular profile, u profile, or triangular or knife profile.

- the layer may be gallium nitride (GaN).
- the substrate 122 may be applied (physically adhered) to an interposer 126 that is in turn applied to (physically adhered to) an interposer substrate 128.

- sealing ring 114 Upon application of retaining device 110 to substrate assembly 120, sealing ring 114, which is at least partially compressible, may contact the chuck 130 and provide a seal.
- chuck 130 is a vacuum chuck and a suction is applied via the vacuum chuck
- volume 140 is a low pressure volume, providing a holding force that holds (e.g., retains, fixes) the retaining device 110 to substrate assembly 120 and reducing or eliminating movement of substrate 122 relative to interposer 126 during application of laser light 150 during the LLO procedure to lift the optical devices 124 from substrate 122 and transfer (bond, adhere) the optical devices 124 to the interposer 126.
- Volume 140 includes volumes between the sealing ring 114, base plate 112, and substrate assembly 120, as well as volumes within the area operable to receive the substrate 122 generally within the compliant layer 116.
- the compliant layer 116 may contact the interposer 126 to which the substrate 122 (and the optical devices 124) are adhered.
- the compliant layer 116 provides a surface against which the interposer 126 may provide a force (e.g., pressure) when the holding force is applied from the base plate 112 that is substantially even (which may be referred to as uniform, level, and/or continuous) with the pressure applied between the base plate 112 and the substrate 122 and the pressure applied between the substrate 122 and the interposer 126.
- This even pressure on the substrate 122 and the interposer 126 may reduce or eliminate undesirable shift of the substrate 122 relative to the interposer 126 (e.g., die shift) that can impact subsequent alignment of the optical devices in subsequent steps of processing (e.g., fabrication), for examples alignment of LEDs to an active display backplane.
- the base plate 112 may be held against substrate 122 when the holding force is applied (e.g., from a suction or vacuum source), and at least a portion of the relatively rigid material of the compliant layer 116 may also contact the base plate 112.

- compliant layer 116 includes four portions, with an opening (slot, area, substrate area) operable to provide space for the substrate 205 to be retained (secured, held).
- Compliant layer 116 is formed to provide one or more volumes 140 (e.g., channels) that provide a path for gases to exit (or enter) the sealing area within the sealing ring 114 that is formed by the application of a suction (vacuum) source to the retaining device 201 , for example by the use of a vacuum chuck, such as chuck 130.
- volumes 140 e.g., channels
- compliant layer 116 is shown having four portions, a greater or fewer number of portions may be used, such as two, three, five, six, or eight.
- a greater number of portions may be used to provide a greater number of channels to allow a greater rate of gas exit (or entry) into the area around substrate 205.
- a greater number of portions for a same diameter (or other overall dimensions) of the compliant layer 116 will reduce the total area of the compliant layer 116, which may result in a less even application of pressure to the compliant layer 116 and substrate 205.
- a fewer number of portions may be used to provide a fewer number of channels for a slower rate of gas exit (or entry) into the area around substrate 205.
- a fewer number of portions for a same diameter (or other overall dimensions) of the compliant layer 116 will increase the total area of the compliant layer 116, which may result in a more even application of pressure to the compliant layer 116 and substrate 205.

- Retaining device assembly 300 can interface with a substrate 122 and device glass 210 (including interposer 126 and interposer substrate 128), for example during a LLO procedure.
- a total stack height for the retaining device assembly 300 under compression is height 308.
- sealing ring 114 of retaining device assembly 300 may have a height 304 in the z-axis away from the base plate 112. Height 304 is greater than height 306, which is the height from the base of the sealing ring 114 to the top of the device glass 210 (and the interface with a chuck 130), including a height 314 of a step 312 of base plate 112 together with a height of the compliant layer 116 and device glass 210.
- the resulting height difference 302 allows for compression of sealing ring 114 when retaining device assembly 300 is pressed against a chuck 130 (not shown) (e.g., a vacuum chuck).

Although shown with two areas in compliant layer 415, each area retaining three substrates of substrates 420, different configurations may be used consistent with the present disclosure.
- Compliant layer 116 is formed to provide one or more volumes 140 (e.g., channels) that provide a path for gases to exit (or enter) the sealing area within the sealing ring 114 that is formed by the application of a suction (e.g., vacuum) source to the retaining device 400, for example by the use of a vacuum chuck, such as chuck 130.
- a suction e.g., vacuum
- compliant layer 415 is shown having three portions, a greater or fewer number of portions may be used, such as two, four, five, six, or eight. In one or more implementations, a greater number of portions may be used to provide a greater number of channels to allow a greater rate of gas exit (or entry) into the area around substrates 420.
- a greater number of portions for a same diameter (or other overall dimensions) of the compliant layer 116 will reduce the total area of the compliant layer 116, which may result in a less even application of pressure to the compliant layer 116 and substrate 205.
- a fewer number of portions may be used to provide a fewer number of channels for a slower rate of gas exit (or entry) into the area around substrate 205.
- a fewer number of portions for a same diameter (or other overall dimensions) of the compliant layer 116 will increase the total area of the compliant layer 116, which may result in a more even application of pressure to the compliant layer 116 and substrate 205.

Abstract
Des modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent un appareil, des systèmes et des procédés d'utilisation d'un dispositif de retenue, par exemple en relation avec un décollement au laser (LLO) de diode électroluminescente (DEL). Dans un ou plusieurs modes de réalisation, un dispositif de retenue comprend une plaque de base, une bague d'étanchéité et une couche souple. La bague d'étanchéité est disposée sur la plaque de base et définit une zone scellée à l'intérieur de la bague d'étanchéité. La bague d'étanchéité a une première surface sur la plaque de base et une seconde surface utilisable pour entrer en contact avec un mandrin pour fournir une force de maintien pour un substrat à retenir. La couche souple est disposée sur la plaque de base à l'intérieur de la zone scellée, formant une zone utilisable pour recevoir le substrat qui est collé à un interposeur disposé sur le mandrin, et utilisable pour entrer en contact avec l'interposeur.
