A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes: epitaxially growing a multilayer Group-III nitride structure on a first surface of a substrate; removing portions of the multilayer structure to form a mesa arranged on the first surface; applying insulating material to the first surface of the substrate so that side faces of the mesa are embedded in the insulating material; forming an electrode on a top surface of the mesa; forming a via in the insulating material that extends from the top surface of the insulating material to the first surface of the substrate; inserting conductive material into the via to form a conductive via; applying an electrically conductive redistribution structure to the upper surface and electrically connecting the conductive via to the electrode; and successively removing portions of a second surface of the substrate, to expose the insulating material and form a worked second surface including the insulating material.
