Abstract
A process for separating at least two substrates comprising at least two separation interfaces along one of the interfaces includes, before inserting a blade between the substrate, damaging at least one portion of a peripheral region of a chosen one of the interfaces, then inserting the blade and partially parting the substrates, and applying a fluid in a space between the parted substrates while the blade remains inserted therebetween, and decreasing a rupture energy of the chosen interface by stress corrosion involving breaking of siloxane bonds present at the interface.
