Abstract

GaAs and InP reactive ion etching in gas mixtures Cl2/Ar, SiCl4/Ar, CH4/H2, CH4/H2/Ar/Cl2 was investigated in the wide range of discharge parameters in order to find out the conditions for obtaining their equal etch rates and good surface morphology. It has been demonstrated that III-V compounds nonselective etching with good surface morphology can be achieved in chlorine, hydrogen and methane - containing mixture.
