SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed are a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same. The method includes forming a first GaN layer, a sacrificial layer and a second GaN layer on a GaN substrate, wherein the sacrificial layer has a bandgap narrower than those of the GaN layers; forming a groove penetrating the second GaN layer and the sacrificial layer; growing GaN-based semiconductor layers on the second GaN layer to form a semiconductor stack; forming a support substrate on the semiconductor stack; and removing the GaN substrate from the semiconductor stack by etching the sacrificial layer. Accordingly, since the sacrificial layer is etched using the groove, the support substrate can be separated from the semiconductor stack without damaging the support substrate.
