摘要
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching of all of the main III-V compound semiconductors is reported as a function of source and chuck power, pressure and gas additive (Ar, N-2, H-2) in Cl-2 plasmas. Etch rates between 2000 and 5000 Angstrom min(-1) were obtained for all materials at moderate source power (750 W) and low d.c, self-bias (less than or equal to -150 V). Surface morphologies were smooth over a broad range of conditions for Ga-based materials, while for In-based semiconductors there was a much narrower window of appropriate ion-to-neutral ratios to obtain smooth etched surfaces on In-based semiconductors.
