Patent ID: 8865489

Claim:
A method for making an electronic device, said method comprising the steps of: providing a growth substrate having a receiving surface; forming a semiconductor epilayer on said receiving surface via epitaxial growth, said semiconductor epilayer having a first contact surface; bonding said first contact surface of said semiconductor epilayer to a handle substrate; releasing said semiconductor epilayer from said growth substrate wherein said semiconductor epilayer remains bonded to said handle substrate, thereby exposing a second contact surface of said semiconductor epilayer; patterning said second contact surface of said semiconductor epilayer with a mask, thereby generating exposed regions and one or more masked regions of said second contact surface; removing material from said exposed regions by etching said exposed regions, thereby generating one or more semiconductor structures supported by said handle substrate; at least partially releasing said one or more semiconductor structures from said handle substrate; and transferring at least one of said one or more semiconductor structures from said handle substrate to a device substrate via dry transfer contact printing, thereby assembling said semiconductor structures on said device substrate to make said electronic device.
