GaN membrane structures are fabricated for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). The combination of GaN and Si semiconductors is promising for future MEMS. However, due to the different material properties, the fabrication of MEMS using GaN semiconductor is still limited. Here, a simple membrane of GaN semiconductor deposited on Si substrate was investigated. The GaN crystal was grown by molecular beam epitaxy and metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The basic properties of the fabricated GaN light emitting diode (LED) were investigated. Etching the Si substrate from the backside, a freestanding GaN LED membrane was fabricated which can be useful for micro total analysis system. From those experimental results, it was shown that the GaN LED membrane was feasible for MEMS applications.
