Abstract
A transfer system includes first and second optical energy sources operable to provide a respective first and second optical energy at respective first and second wavelengths. A chiplet has a bonding feature configured to interface with a corresponding bonding feature of a target substrate. At least one of the bonding features absorb at the first wavelength such that applying the first optical energy bonds the chiplet to the target substrate or removes a bond between the chiplet and the target substrate. The system includes a transfer layer formed of a thermally switchable material that undergoes a phase change when heated. An optical absorber absorbs at the second wavelength such that applying the second optical energy heats a region of the transfer layer at a location of the chiplet when removing the chiplets from a source substrate during the transfer operation.
