Abstract
A substrate for supporting epitaxial growth of light emitting semiconductor devices having a non-crystalline multilayer reflection controlling stack under a thin layer of single crystal silicon is shown. A III-Nitride or other semiconductor stimulated emission device is grown on the thin layer of silicon.
