Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals denote like elements, figure 1 An SOG structure 100 according to one or more embodiments disclosed herein is shown in FIG. The SOG structure 100 may include a glass substrate 102 and a semiconductor layer 104 . The SOG structure 100 has suitable use in the processing of thin film transistors (TFTs), for example, in display applications including organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays and liquid crystal displays (LCD), integrated circuits, photovoltaic devices, and the like.

[0026] The semiconductor material of semiconductor layer 104 may be substantially in the form of a single crystal silicon material. The term "substantially" is used to describe the semiconductor layer 104 in consideration of the fact that semiconductor materials generally contain at least some internal or surface defects, either inherent or intentionally added, e.g., lattice defects or a small amount of grain boundaries. The term ...

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for producing a semiconductor on glass (SOG) structure include: bringing a first surface of a glass substrate into direct or indirect contact with a semiconductor wafer; heating at least one of the glass substrate and the semiconductor wafer such that a second surface of the glass substrate, opposite to the first surface thereof, is at a lower temperature than the first surface; applying a voltage potential across the glass substrate and the semiconductor wafer; and maintaining the contact, heating and voltage to induce an anodic bond between the semiconductor wafer and the glass substrate via electrolysis.
