Abstract
The present invention discloses an epitaxial lift-off process of graphene-based gallium nitride (GaN), and principally solves the existing problems about complex lift-off technique, high cost, and poor quality of lift-off GaN films. The invention is achieved by: first, growing graphene on a well-polished copper foil by CVD method; then, transferring a plurality of layers of graphene onto a sapphire substrate; next, growing GaN epitaxial layer on the sapphire substrate with a plurality of graphene layers transferred by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method; finally, lifting off and transferring the GaN epitaxial layer onto a target substrate with a thermal release tape. With graphene, the present invention relieves the stress generated by the lattice mismatch between substrate and epitaxial layer; moreover, the present invention readily lifts off and transfers the epitaxial layer to the target substrate by means of weak Van der Waals forces between epitaxial layer and graphene.
