For the first time, the successful removal of AlAs/GaAs double barrier resonant tunnelling diodes from the substrate using the epitaxial liftoff technique is reported. Ohmic contacts were formed to the top and bottom of the devices, using indium-alloyed ohmic contacts for the backside of the lifted-off diodes. Room temperature peak-to-valley ratios of 3.4 with peak current densities of 50 kA/cm2 were obtained.
