Abstract

A method is provided for fabricating a nitride based resonant cavity semiconductor structure with a first distributed Bragg reflector on a sapphire substrate, a second substrate bonded to the first distributed Bragg reflector, the sapphire substrate removed by laser-assisted epitaxial lift-off, and fabricating a second Bragg reflector on the semiconductor structure opposite the first distributed Bragg reflector. The nitride based resonant cavity semiconductor structure can be a VCSEL, LED or photodetector, or a combination of said devices.
