Some embodiments include a method. The method can include: providing a carrier substrate; providing a bond promoting layer over the carrier substrate; and depositing a first device substrate over the carrier substrate and the bond promoting layer. The first device substrate can be configured to bond to the carrier substrate with a first device substrate-carrier substrate adhesion strength. Meanwhile, depositing the first device substrate can include: bonding the first device substrate to the bond promoting layer, the first device substrate bonding to the bond promoting layer with a first device substrate-bond promoting layer adhesion strength greater than the first device substrate-carrier substrate adhesion strength; and coupling the first device substrate to the carrier substrate. Other embodiments of related methods and devices are also disclosed.

Method of providing an electronic device and electronic device thereof

Some embodiments include a method. The method can include: providing a carrier substrate; providing a first bond promoting layer over the carrier substrate; providing a second bond promoting layer over the carrier substrate; and depositing a first device substrate over the carrier substrate, the first bond promoting layer, and the second bond promoting layer. The first device substrate can be configured to bond to the carrier substrate with a first device substrate-carrier substrate adhesion strength. Meanwhile, depositing the first device substrate can include: bonding the first device substrate to the first bond promoting layer, the first device substrate bonding to the first bond promoting layer with a first device substrate-first bond promoting layer adhesion strength greater than the first device substrate-carrier substrate adhesion strength; and coupling the first device substrate to the carrier substrate. Other embodiments of related methods and devices are also disclosed.

Some embodiments include a method. The method can comprise: providing a carrier substrate; providing an adhesion modification layer over the carrier substrate; providing a device substrate; and coupling the device substrate and the carrier substrate together, the adhesion modification layer being located between the device substrate and the carrier substrate when the device substrate and the carrier substrate are coupled together. In these embodiments, the adhesion modification layer can be configured so that the device substrate couples indirectly with the carrier substrate by way of the adhesion modification layer with a first bonding force that is greater than a second bonding force by which the device substrate couples with the carrier substrate absent the adhesion modification layer. Other embodiments of related methods and devices are also disclosed.

Method of providing a flexible semiconductor device and flexible semiconductor device thereof

Some embodiments include a method. The method can include providing a carrier substrate, providing a release layer over the carrier substrate, and providing a device substrate over the carrier substrate and the release layer. Providing the device substrate can include bonding the device substrate to the carrier substrate, and bonding the device substrate to the release layer. Further, providing the release layer can include bonding the release layer to the carrier substrate. Meanwhile, the release layer can include polymethylmethacrylate, and the device substrate can be bonded to the carrier substrate with a first adhesion strength, the device substrate can be bonded to the release layer with a second adhesion strength less than the first adhesion strength, and the release layer can be bonded to the carrier substrate with a third adhesion strength greater than the second adhesion strength. Other embodiments of related methods and devices are also disclosed.
