<p>Embodiments of the invention generally relate to apparatuses and methods for producing epitaxial thin films and devices by epitaxial lift off (ELO) processes. In one embodiment, a method for forming thin film devices during an ELO process is provided which includes coupling a plurality of substrates to an elongated support tape, wherein each substrate contains an epitaxial film disposed over a sacrificial layer disposed over a wafer, exposing the substrates to an etchant during an etching process while moving the elongated support tape, and etching the sacrificial layers and peeling the epitaxial films from the wafers while moving the elongated support tape. Embodiments also include several apparatuses, continuous-type as well as a batch-type apparatuses, for forming the epitaxial thin films and devices, including an apparatus for removing the support tape and epitaxial films from the wafers on which the epitaxial films were grown.</p> |
