Abstract

In an example, the present invention provides a gallium and nitrogen containing structure. The structure has a plurality of gallium and nitrogen containing semiconductor substrates, each of the gallium and nitrogen containing semiconductor substrates having one or more epitaxially grown layers. The structure has a first handle substrate coupled to each of the substrates. The orientation of a reference crystal direction for each of the substrates are parallel to within 10 degrees or less. The structure has a first bonding medium provided between the first handle substrate and each of the substrates.
