Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a surface optical apparatus having a surface optical device with a p-side electrode and an n-side electrode, a first substrate for supporting the surface optical device through an elastic supporter, and an electrode wiring comprising of at least a wire formed on the elastic supporter and electrically connected to the p-side electrode or the n-side electrode, and in which a current is injected into or a voltage is applied across the surface optical device through the electrode wiring and the p-side electrode and the n-side electrode, and the surface optical device includes functional layers grown on a second substrate of semiconductor, said method comprising the steps of: forming a layer of the elastic supporter on the first substrate; forming the functional layers of the surface optical device on the second substrate; forming the electrode wiring on the layer of the elastic supporter; bonding an upper surface of the functional layers of the surface optical device to the electrode wiring on the elastic supporter by using a direct solid-phase junction; removing the second substrate with the functional layers being left on the elastic supporter; and etching a portion of the first substrate under the surface optical device and the electrode wiring.
