摘要: The authors demonstrate the use of a dry releasing technique to achieve deeply undercut GaN-based microdisk structures supported by silicon platforms. Varying dimensions on posts with large air gaps are fabricated XeF2-based etching underlying material. residual stress variation in these microdisks is studied high spectral resolution micro-Raman mapping. Such fabrication may effectively improve light extraction efficiency from emitting diodes substrates.
