  • Publication number: 20160284649
    Abstract: A nanostructured chip includes a substrate and a nanostructured layer, wherein the substrate has a first surface and a second surface on which the nanostructured layer is formed. A method of producing the nanostructured chip includes the step of forming the nanostructured layer on the second surface of the substrate. Whereby, the nanostructured layer effectively disperses a stress to increase the flexural strength of the nanostructured chip. Therefore, during the subsequent procedures to form an epitaxial layer on the first surface, the nanostructured layer is helpful to prevent the epitaxial layer from generating cracks, and prevent the substrate from bowings, or fragments.
