Abstract

The present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor device with a metal substrate. The method includes providing at least one semiconductor substrate; forming at least one semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate; forming the metal substrate on the semiconductor substrate and then removing the semiconductor substrate. The metal substrate has advantages of high thermal and electrical conductivity that can improve the reliability and lifetime of the semiconductor device.
