Abstract

A method of forming an epitaxially grown layer by providing a support substrate that includes a region of weakness therein to define a support portion and a remainder portion on opposite sides of the region of weakness. The region of weakness comprises atomic species implanted in the support substrate to facilitate detachment of the support portion from the remainder portion. The method also includes epitaxially growing an epitaxially grown layer in association with the support portion.
