Abstract

A method of fabricating transferable semiconductor devices includes providing a release layer including indium aluminum phosphide on a substrate, and providing a support layer on the release layer. The support layer and the substrate include respective materials, such as arsenide-based materials, such that the release layer has an etching selectivity relative to the support layer and the substrate. At least one device layer is provided on the support layer. The release layer is selectively etched without substantially etching the support layer and the substrate. Related structures and methods are also discussed.
