Abstract
A semiconductor substrate structure includes a seed layer on a substrate, a first gallium nitride layer on the seed layer, and a patterned first hard mask layer on the first gallium nitride layer, wherein the patterned first hard mask layer includes a first opening. The semiconductor substrate structure also includes a second gallium nitride layer in the first opening and on the patterned first hard mask layer, a patterned second hard mask layer on the second gallium nitride layer, wherein the patterned second hard mask layer includes a second opening, and at least a portion of a projection on the substrate of the first opening and a projection on the substrate of the second opening are non-overlapped. The semiconductor substrate structure further includes a third gallium nitride layer in the second opening and on the patterned second hard mask layer.
