A method is provided for forming Group IIIA-nitride layers, such as GaN, on substrates. The Group IIIA-nitride layers may be deposited on mesa-patterned semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI, e.g., silicon-on-insulator) substrates. The Group IIIA-nitride layers may be deposited by heteroepitaxial deposition on mesa-patterned semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI, e.g., silicon-on-insulator) substrates. |
