Abstract

A method of forming patterned film onto a substrate includes the steps of: depositing a polyether sulfone release layer 50; depositing a photoresist underlayer 52; patterning a predetermined film pattern through the underlayer 52 and the polyether sulfone layer 50; depositing a film layer 60 onto the wafer, thereby forming a patterned film 62 on the substrate 10; weakening the mechanical bonding strength to the polyether sulfone release layer 50 by immersing it in NMP; stripping off layers 54 and 60 by applying an adhesive backed tape 64 to the top of the film layer and applying a pulling force; and, removing the polyether sulfone release layer 50 by immersing the wafer in a NMP bath.
