Abstract: Disclosed is a substrate structure and a method for forming the same, in which a high-quality nitride semiconductor layer may be formed with a reduced stress applied to the nitride semiconductor layer at the growth of the nitride semiconductor layer and also be easily separated from the substrate, and a semiconductor lamination structure using the same and a method for forming the same, and a method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor using the same. The substrate structure includes a single-crystal substrate heterogeneous from a nitride semiconductor, and a crystallized inorganic thin film having a leg portion configured to contact the substrate to define an integrated cavity between the leg portion and the substrate and an upper surface extending from the leg portion and parallel to the substrate, the crystallized inorganic thin film having the same crystal structure as the substrate.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor thin film structure and a semiconductor thin film structure formed using the same is provided. A sacrificial layer is formed on a substrate and then patterned through various methods, an inorganic thin film is formed on the sacrificial layer and then the sacrificial layer is selectively removed to form a cavity defined by the substrate and the inorganic thin film on the substrate.

Abstract: A semiconductor stacking structure according to the present invention comprises: a monocrystalline substrate which is disparate from a nitride semiconductor; an inorganic thin film which is formed on a substrate to define a cavity between the inorganic thin film and the substrate, wherein at least a portion of the inorganic thin film is crystallized with a crystal structure that is the same as the substrate; and a nitride semiconductor layer which is grown from a crystallized inorganic thin film above the cavity. The method and apparatus for separating a nitride semiconductor layer according the present invention mechanically separate between the substrate and the nitride semiconductor layer. The mechanical separation can be performed by a method of separation of applying a vertical force to the substrate and the nitride semiconductor layer, a method of separation of applying a horizontal force, a method of separation of applying a force of a relative circular motion, and a combination thereof.
