    Abstract: A method for producing a thin-film layer includes providing a layer stack on a carrier substrate, wherein the layer stack includes a carrier layer and a sacrificial layer, and wherein the sacrificial layer includes areas in which the carrier layer is exposed. The method includes providing the thin-film layer on the layer stack, such that the thin-film layer bears on the sacrificial layer and, in the areas of the sacrificial layer in which the carrier layer is exposed, against the carrier layer. The method includes at least partly removing the sacrificial layer from the thin-film layer in order to eliminate a contact between the thin-film layer and the sacrificial layer in some areas. The method also includes detaching the thin-film layer from the carrier layer.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a microelectromechanical transducer includes a displaceable membrane having an undulated section comprising at least one undulation trough and at least one undulation peak and a plurality of piezoelectric unit cells. At least one piezoelectric unit cell is provided in each case in at least one undulation trough and at least one undulation peak, where each piezoelectric unit cell has a piezoelectric layer and at least one electrode in electrical contact with the piezoelectric layer. The membrane may be formed as a planar component having a substantially larger extent in a first and a second spatial direction, which are orthogonal to one another, than in a third spatial direction, which is orthogonal to the first and the second spatial direction and defines an axial direction of the membrane.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bonded substrate stack includes: providing a first substrate having a first hybrid interface layer, the first hybrid interface layer including a first insulator and a first metal; providing a second substrate having a second hybrid interface layer, the second hybrid interface layer including a second insulator and a second metal; surface-activating the first hybrid interface layer and the second hybrid interface layer by particle bombardment; and bringing the surface-activated first hybrid interface layer and the surface-activated second hybrid interface layer into contact, such that the first and second insulators bond together and the first and second metals bond together at the same time.

    Abstract: A device for debonding a structure from a main surface region of a carrier includes a tape for laminating to the structure, a first holder and a second holder for spanning the tape and to keep a tension of the tape. The second holder can be movable into a lifted position vertically offset to the main surface region of the carrier. The device can also include a deflecting-element for providing a deflection-line between the first holder and the second holder for deflecting the tape in response to moving the second holder into the lifted position. The deflecting-element can be moveable parallel to the carrier for moving the deflection-line parallel to the carrier and for debonding the structure, laminated to the tape, from the carrier.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bonded substrate stack includes: providing a first substrate having a first hybrid interface layer, the first hybrid interface layer including a first insulator and a first metal; and providing a second substrate having a second hybrid interface layer, the second hybrid interface layer including a second insulator and a second metal. The hybrid interface layers are surface-activated to generate dangling bonds on the hybrid interface layers. The surface-activated hybrid interface layers are brought into contact, such that the dangling bonds of the first hybrid interface layer and the dangling bonds of the second hybrid interface layer bond together to form first insulator to second insulator bonds and first metal to second metal bonds.
