Abstract

In a Sapphire Collector (SC), one or more features, both structural and parametric, are included for capturing the die-size sapphire chips that are removed from a semiconductor structure during die-level laser lift-off (LLO). These features are designed to increase the likelihood that each sapphire chip is securely captured by the Sapphire Collector immediately after it is released from the semiconductor structure.
