摘要
Implementation of a novel high-density plasma configuration has led to high etch rates of various opto-electronic device structures. The etch rate for multiple quantum well GaN/GaInN structures exceeds 7500 Angstrom/min, and that for AlGaInP/GaInP structure is over 4.5 micron/min with near-vertical profile. Discussion will cover the analysis of the etch-rate, micromorphology, etch-profile and selectivity with respect to the influence by various process parameters. Deep-etch for over 20 microns with photoresist as the protection layer has been achieved, which resulted in nearly 90-degree profile.
