Embodiments of the invention generally relate to epitaxial lift off (ELO) thin films and devices and methods used to form such films and devices. In one embodiment, a method for forming an ELO thin film is provided which includes depositing an epitaxial material over a sacrificial layer on a substrate, adhering a unidirectionally induced-shrinkage support handle onto the epitaxial material, and shrinking the support handle tangential to reinforcement fibers therein to form tension in the support handle and compression in the epitaxial material during the shrinking process. The unidirectionally induced-shrinkage support handle contains a shrinkable material and reinforcement fibers extending unidirectional throughout the shrinkable material. The method further includes removing the sacrificial layer during an etching process, peeling the epitaxial material from the substrate while forming an etch crevice therebetween, and bending the support handle to have substantial curvature.
