Abstract
A method and system for fabricating microcircuits occupying large areas on substrates capable of withstanding high semiconductor processing temperatures and then transferring the circuits onto large substrates incapable of withstanding the high processing temperatures. The method and system is particularly suitable for fabricating large area displays.
Claims16
A system for fabricating large-area microcircuits comprising:
- a flexible belt made of a material which can withstand the microcircuit processing temperatures,
- means for moving the belt,
- a station for receiving the belt and applying a separating layer on one surface of the belt,
- a station for receiving the belt and fabricating and processing integrated microcircuits on the separating layer,
- a second belt made of a flexible plastic material,
- a station for receiving said plastic substrate and applying a bonding layer to one surface,
- rollers for continuously moving the belt with fabricated integrated microcircuits into engagement with the bonding layer of the flexible plastic belt whereby the microcircuits are bonded to the flexible plastic belt,
- a station for receiving the bonded plastic belt and the belt with the microcircuits and removing the separating layer whereby the microcircuits are transferred to the plastic belt.
