Problems solved by technology

[0005] There is a lattice mismatch between the GaN-based epitaxial wafer and the sapphire substrate, resulting in high-density defects and a large thermal expansion coefficient, insufficient stress relief, and resulting in uneven surface of the epitaxial wafer
Compared with small-sized epitaxial wafers, large-sized epitaxial wafers have higher warpage and are easily broken, which seriously restricts the development of large-sized epitaxial wafers
