  • Publication number: 20120309178
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a free-standing substrate includes the steps of growing a first thin film on a heterogeneous substrate, forming an ion implantation layer in the first thin film by implanting ions into the first thin film, dividing the first thin film into an upper thin film and a lower thin film with respect to the ion implantation layer, and growing a second thin film on the upper thin film. The free-standing substrate is manufactured without warping or cracking. No additional processes, such as a laser separation process, for separating the free-standing substrate from the heterogeneous substrate are required.
