Abstract

We report here a comparative study of the in-plane strain states of standard GaN epilayer grown on sapphire (001) and flip-chip GaN epilayer bonded on Si (111) wafer by means of X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. It is confirmed that the in-plane tensile strains can be largely reduced after the flip-chip process. The reduction of the biaxial strains determined by XRD, Raman, and PL analysis is found to be consistent.
