Abstract
In an embodiment, a semiconductor structure includes a support substrate comprising a surface adapted to support epitaxial growth of a Group III nitride, one or more epitaxial Group III nitride layers arranged on the surface and supporting a plurality of transistor devices assembled upon the support substrate, and a test structure formed in a Group III nitride layer. The test structure includes a plurality of trenches configured to provide an optical diffraction grating when illuminated by UV light. The trenches have a parameter corresponding to a parameter of a feature of the transistor devices.
