Abstract
Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a method for forming an integrated chip in which a group III-V device is bonded to a substrate, as well as the resulting integrated chip. In some embodiments, the method includes: forming a chip including an epitaxial stack, a metal structure on the epitaxial stack, and a diffusion layer between the metal structure and the epitaxial stack; bonding the chip to a substrate so the metal structure is between the substrate and the epitaxial stack; and performing an etch into the epitaxial stack to form a mesa structure with sidewalls spaced from sidewalls of the diffusion layer. The metal structure may, for example, be a metal bump patterned before the bonding or may, for example, be a metal layer that is on an etch stop layer and that protrudes through the etch stop layer to the diffusion layer.
