Abstract  We have successfully prepared GaN based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on metallic substrates transferred from silicon substrates by electroplating technique. GaN HEMTs on Cu substrates are demonstrated to basically have the same good electric characteristics as the chips on Si substrates. Furthermore, the better heat dissipation of HEMTs on Cu substrates compared to HEMTs on Si substrates is clearly observed by thermoreflectance imaging, showing the promising potential for very high-power and high-temperature operation. This work shows the outstanding ability of HEMT chips on Cu substrates for solving the self-heating effect with the advantages of process simplicity, high yield, and low production requirement.
