1. A semiconductor structure suitable for use in micro-transfer printing, comprising:

  • a semiconductor substrate;

    a patterned insulation layer disposed on or over the semiconductor substrate, the patterned insulation layer comprising an insulation material and defining one or more etch vias extending through the patterned insulation layer and in contact with the semiconductor substrate; and

    a semiconductor device disposed entirely on the patterned insulation layer, wherein at least a portion of the semiconductor device is surrounded by an isolation material in one or more isolation vias disposed on the patterned insulation layer, the one or more isolation vias are adjacent to and in contact with at least one of the one or more etch vias, and the patterned insulation layer is disposed at least partially between the semiconductor device and the semiconductor substrate,wherein the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor device comprise one or more semiconductor materials that are differentially etchable from the isolation material and from the insulation material, wherein the one or more etch vias are at least partially filled with one of the one or more semiconductor materials, and wherein the semiconductor device is electrically isolated from the semiconductor substrate.
