Abstract

A method for placing nitride laser diode arrays on a thermally conducting substrate is described. The method uses an excimer laser to detach the nitride laser diode from the sapphire growth substrate after an intermediate substrate has been attached to the side opposite the sapphire substrate. A thermally conducting substrate is subsequently bonded to the side where the sapphire substrate was removed.
