Abstract: A method is provided for bonding a first substrate carrying a semiconductor device layer on its front surface to a second substrate. The method comprises producing the semiconductor device layer on the front surface of the first substrate, depositing a first metal bonding layer or a stack of metal layers on the first substrate, on top of the semiconductor device layer, depositing a second metal bonding layer or a stack of metal layers on the front surface of the second substrate, depositing a metal stress-compensation layer on the back side of the second substrate, thereafter establishing a metal bond between the first and second substrate, by bringing the first and second metal bonding layers or stacks of layers into mutual contact under conditions of mechanical pressure and temperature suitable for obtaining the metal bond, and removing the first substrate.

Abstract: A method for producing a GaNLED device, wherein a stack of layers comprising at least a GaN layer is texturized, is disclosed. The method involves (i) providing a substrate comprising on its surface said stack of layers, (ii) depositing a resist layer directly on said stack, (iii) positioning a mask above said resist layer, said mask covering one or more first portions of said resist layer and not covering one or more second portions of said resist layer, (iv) exposing said second portions of said resist layer to a light source, (v) removing the mask, and (vi) bringing the resist layer in contact with a developer comprising potassium, wherein said developer removes said resist portions that have been exposed and texturizes the surface of at least the top layer of said stack by wet etching said surface, in the areas situated underneath said resist portions that have been exposed.
