Abstract: The substrate problem is a big one for the optoelectronics industry. It is only possible to grow good quality material, without any of the defects that prevent light emission, if a substrate can be found with an almost identical atomic spacing to the layer grown on it. For some material systems there is no lattice-matched substrate available. But by adding a twist, a gallium arsenide substrate can be made stretchy — effectively a universal substrate.
