Abstract
A method for processing a thin film layer, for example to form an ink jet printhead, can include the use of an adhesive layer that can be converted from a first state having a first adhesive force to a second state having a second adhesive force, where the first state is stronger than the second state. Conversion from the first state to the second state can be performed using a suitable treatment. In an embodiment, the adhesive layer may be a thermal release material that is converted during a heat treatment. In another embodiment, the adhesive layer may be a layer that is sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, and is converted during exposure to UV light emitted by a UV light source.
