PROCESSING FLEXIBLE GLASS WITH A CARRIER

摘要

A method of removing a desired part of a thin sheet (20) from a thin sheet bonded to a carrier (10) by a bonded area (40) that surrounds a non-bonded area (50), wherein the method includes forming a perimeter vent (60) defining a perimeter of the desired part (56), wherein the perimeter vent is disposed within the non-bonded area and has a depth >= 50% of the thickness (22) of the thin sheet. Prior to removing the desired part, a device may be processed onto the thin sheet. In some processes, the carrier is diced so it may be processed in smaller sizes, yet maintains a hermetically sealed edge. After dicing, an additional part of the device may be processed onto the thin sheet, and the desired part is removed by removing a desired part of the thin sheet from the carrier.
