Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Nitride semiconductors are the preferential choice in various devices applications, such as optoelectronics and high-power electronics. These GaN-based device structures can be grown on sapphire, silicon carbide, and silicon substrate, but not on large, flexible, and affordable substrates, such as polycrystalline or amorphous substrates. Several techniques, including laser lift-off and chemical lift-off, have been studied for transferring the GaN-based structures from the sapphire substrates to other substrates, but those methods still have several disadvantages. Here we demonstrate that hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) can form a release layer that enables the mechanical transfer of GaN-based device structure onto foreign substrates [1]. A flat single-crystal wurtzite GaN layer can be grown on AlN or AlGaN layer on h-BN grown on a sapphire substrate. AlGaN/GaN heterostructures and InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structures grown on h-BN-buffered sapphire substrates, ranging in area from five millimeters square to two centimeters square, are mechanically released from the host substrates and successfully transferred onto other substrates. In electroluminescence (EL) spectra of transferred light-emitting diode (LED) and conventional LED, the intensities of the EL intensities from the transferred LED were comparable to or higher than the intensities from the conventional LED on low-temperature AlN buffer layer, indicating that the MQW preserves its original quality after the transfer.
