    Notes: Abstract Dry etching of common masking materials used in GaAs device technology, was examined down to temperatures of −30°C. The etch rates of SiNx, SiO2, and W in SF6/Ar are reduced below 0°C, but the anisotropy of the etching is improved at low temperature. Microwave enhancement of the SF6/Ar discharges produces increases in etch rates of several times at 25°C, but much lower increases at −30°C substrate temperature. The underlying GaAs surface shows increased S and F coverage after low-temperature etching, but these species are readily removerd either by anex-situ wet chemical cleaning step or an in-situ H2 plasma exposure. Photoresist etching is less sensitive to temperature, and anisotropic profiles are produced between −30 and +60°C in pure O2 discharges.

    Notes: Abstract High-density plasma etching of GaAs, GaSb, and AlGaAs was performed inICl/Ar and IBr/Ar chemistries using an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)source. GaSb and AlGaAs showed maxima in their etch rates for both plamachemistries as a function of interhalogen percentage, while GaAs showedincreased etch rates with plasma composition in both chemistries. Etchrates of all materials increased substantially with increasing rf chuckpower, but rapidly decreased with chamber pressure. Selectivities 〉10 forGaAs and GaSb over AlGaAs were obtained in both chemistries. The etchedsurfaces of GaAs showed smooth morphology, which were somewhat better withICl/Ar than with IBr/Ar discharge. Auger Electron Spectroscopy analysisrevealed equirate of removal of group III and V components or thecorresponding etch products, maintaining the stoichiometry of the etchedsurface.

    Notes: Abstract A parametric study of Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) etching of InP, InSb, InGaP, and InGaAs has been carried out in ICl/Ar and IBr/Ar chemistries. Etch rates in excess of 3.1 for InP, 3.6 for InSb, 2.3 for InGaP, and 2.2 μm/min for InGaAs were obtained in IBr/Ar plasmas. The ICP etching of In-based materials showed a general tendency: The etch rates increased substantially with increasing ICP source power and rf chuck power in both chemistries, while they decreased with increasing chamber pressure. The IBr/Ar chemistry typically showed higher etch rates than ICl/Ar, but the etched surface morphologies were fairly poor for both chemistries.
