Abstract
Methods and structures including a release mechanism for use with the formation and then separation of a multi-layered structure are provided. The methods and structures provide for a master substrate on which is formed a temperature-sensitive release layer. A releasable structure is then formed on top of the temperature-sensitive release layer. The releasable structure can be freed from the master substrate by exposing the temperature-sensitive release layer to a temperature sufficient to soften or melt of the release layer.
