Abstract: A method of fabricating semiconductor devices, such as GaN LEDs, on insulating substrates, such as sapphire. Semiconductor layers are produced on the insulating substrate using normal semiconductor processing techniques. Trenches that define the boundaries of the individual devices are then formed through the semiconductor layers and into the insulating substrate, beneficially by using inductive coupled plasma reactive ion etching. The trenches are then filled with an easily removed layer. A metal support structure is then formed on the semiconductor layers (such as by plating or by deposition) and the insulating substrate is removed. Electrical contacts, a passivation layer, and metallic pads are then added to the individual devices, and the individual devices are then diced out.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for generating graphic tentacle motions. In the method, a 3D tentacle is divided into a 1D center line and a 2D surface based on information about an initial mesh of the 3D tentacle. New locations of sample points of the center line in a new frame are determined from initial locations of sample points of the center line, based on a tentacle root motion. New locations of sample points of the surface in the new frame are determined from initial locations of sample points of the surface, based on both the initial locations of the center line sample points and the tentacle root motion. The surface is coupled to the center line using the locations of the sample points of both the center line and the surface in the new frame.
