Abstract

A method of producing an optoelectronic substrate by detaching a thin layer from a semi-conducting nitride substrate and transferring it to an auxiliary substrate to provide at least one semi-conducting nitride layer thereon, metallizing at least a portion of the surface of the auxiliary substrate that includes the transferred nitride layer, bonding to a final substrate the metallized surface portion of the transferred nitrate layer of the auxiliary substrate, and removing the auxiliary substrate to provide an optoelectronic substrate comprising a semi-conducting nitride surface layer over a subjacent metallized portion and a supporting final substrate. Resultant optoelectronic substrates having low dislocation densities are also included.
