Abstract

A workpiece is implanted to affect growth of a compound semiconductor, such as GaN. Implanted regions of a workpiece increase, reduce, or prevent growth of this compound semiconductor. Combinations of implants may be performed to cause increased growth in certain regions of the workpiece, such as between regions where growth is reduced. Growth also may be reduced or prevented at the periphery of the workpiece.
