Abstract
A method for porosifying a Ill-nitride material in a semiconductor structure is provided, the semiconductor structure comprising a sub-surface structure of a first Ill-nitride material, having a charge carrier density greater than 5×10cm, beneath a surface layer of a second Ill-nitride material, having a charge carrier density of between 1×10cmand 1×10cm. The method comprises the steps of exposing the surface layer to an electrolyte, and applying a potential difference between the first Ill-nitride material and the electrolyte, so that the sub-surface structure is porosified by electrochemical etching, while the surface layer is not porosified. A semiconductor structure and uses thereof are further provided.
