Some embodiments include methods of processing a unit containing crystalline material. A damage region may be formed within the crystalline material, and a portion of the unit may be above the damage region. A chuck may be used to bend the unit and thereby induce cleavage along the damage region to form a structure from the portion of the unit above the damage region. Some embodiments include methods of forming semiconductor-on-insulator constructions. A unit may be formed to have dielectric material over monocrystalline semiconductor material. A damage region may be formed within the monocrystalline semiconductor material, and a portion of the monocrystalline semiconductor material may be between the damage region and the dielectric material. The unit may be incorporated into an assembly with a handle component, and a chuck may be used to contort the assembly and thereby induce cleavage along the damage region. |
