Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to selective photo-enhanced wet oxidation for nitride layer regrowth on substrates. In one aspect, a semiconductor structure may comprise: a first substrate structure; a III-nitride structure bonded with the first substrate structure; a plurality of air gaps formed between the first substrate structure and the III-nitride structure; and a III-oxide layer formed on surfaces around the air gaps, wherein a portion of the III-nitride structure including surfaces around the air gaps is transformed into the III-oxide layer by a selective photo-enhanced wet oxidation, and the III-oxide layer is formed between an untransformed portion of the III-nitride structure and the first substrate structure.
