  • Publication number: 20210151354
    Abstract: A semiconductor device can be transferred onto a circuit board with high accuracy, and a man-hour and a facility load in a process of peeling off the semiconductor device from a sapphire substrate are reduced. A semiconductor-device-formed sapphire substrate in which gallium-nitride-based semiconductor devices are arrayed and formed on a sapphire substrate includes a nitrogen-gallium re-fusion layer A at an interface between the sapphire substrate and the semiconductor devices. An adhesive strength of the nitrogen-gallium re-fusion layer is smaller than an adhesive strength of an adhesive layer for bonding the semiconductor devices to a circuit board.
