Abstract
Techniques for processing materials for manufacture of gallium-containing nitride substrates are disclosed. More specifically, techniques for fabricating and reusing large area substrates using a combination of processing techniques are disclosed. The methods can be applied to fabricating substrates of GaN, AlN, InN, InGaN, AlGaN, and AlInGaN, and others. Such substrates can be used for a variety of applications including optoelectronic devices, lasers, light emitting diodes, solar cells, photo electrochemical water splitting and hydrogen generation, photo detectors, integrated circuits, transistors, and others.
