Fig. 5 E and 5E ' remove for sacrifice layer 520 and the structural representation of the substrate 500 of growing up after breaking away from.Should note having only in this structure epitaxial loayer 540 to engage up and down with supporting substrate 550.This structure contains discrete disjunct island part fully or hardly.Therefore, should understand as long as the thickness of supporting substrate 550 is enough, namely can carry out follow-up each processing step by this operation epitaxial film.
The above is the preferred embodiments of the present invention only, is not in order to limit claim of the present invention; All other do not break away from being equal to of finishing under the disclosed spirit and changes or modify, and all should be included in the claim.
