Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides methods for treating a part made from a decomposable semiconductor material, and particularly, methods for detaching a surface film from the rest of such part. According to the provided methods, a burst or pulse of light particles of short duration and very high intensity is applied to the part in order to selectively heat, under substantially adiabatic conditions, an area of the part located at a predefined depth from the surface to a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature of the material, and subsequently a surface film is detached from the rest of the part at the heated area. In preferred embodiments, the decomposable semiconductor material comprises Ga, or comprises Al x Ga y In 1-x-y N, where 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1 and x+y≦1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a part comprising a thermally decomposable material comprising Al x Ga y ln 1-x-y N where 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1 and x+y≦1, which method comprises: applying a pulse of particle flux on a surface of the part, wherein the particle flux is a flux of atomic or ionic species, with the duration and intensity of the pulsed flux being selected in order to selectively heat an area of the part located at a predefined depth from the surface under substantia…
