Publication number: 20110143467Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for fabricating an InGaAlN light-emitting semiconductor structure. During the fabrication process, at least one single-crystal sacrificial layer is deposited on the surface of a base substrate to form a combined substrate, wherein the single-crystal sacrificial layer is lattice-matched with InGaAlN, and wherein the single crystal layer forms a sacrificial layer. Next, the InGaAlN light-emitting semiconductor structure is fabricated on the combined substrate. The InGaAlN structure fabricated on the combined substrate is then transferred to a support substrate, thereby facilitating a vertical electrode configuration. Transferring the InGaAlN structure involves etching the single-crystal sacrificial layer with a chemical etchant. Furthermore, the InGaAlN and the base substrate are resistant to the chemical etchant. The base substrate can be reused after the InGaAlN structure is transferred.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2008Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: LATTICE POWER (JIANGXI) CORPORATIONInventors: Chuanbing Xiong, Fengyi Jiang, Li Wang, Shaohua Zhang, Guping Wang, Guangxu Wang
