    Notes: Abstract A systematic study has been performed of the dry etching characteristics of GaAs, Al0.3Ga0.7As, and GaSb in chlorine-based electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) discharges. The gas mixtures investigated were CCl2F2/O2, CHCl2F/O2, and PCl3. The etching rates of all three materials increase rapidly with applied RF power, while the addition of the microwave power at moderate levels (150 W) increases the etch rates by 20–80%. In the microwave discharges, the etch rates decrease with increasing pressure, but at 1 m Torr it is possible to obtain usable rates for self-bias voltages ≤ 100 V. Of the Freon-based mixtures, CHCl2F provides the least degradation of optical (photoluminescence) and electrical (diode ideality factors and Schottky barrier heights) properties of GaAs as a result of dry etching. Smooth surface morphologies are obtained on all three materials provided the microwave power is limited to ≤ 200 W. Above this power, there is surface roughening evident with all of the gas mixtures investigated.

    Notes: Abstract Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) discharges of CCl2F2 or PCl3 have been used to etch InP, InAs, InSb, InGaAs and AlInAs. The etch rates of these materials increase linearly with additional RF power level applied to the cathode and are in the range 50–180 Å · min−1 for 50 W (DC bias ∼ 308 V), 10 mTorr, 38 CCl2F2/2 O2 plasmas. The etch rates fall rapidly with increasing pressure or increasing O2-to-CCl2F2 ratio. Polymeric surface residues up to 40 Å thick are found on all of these semiconductors when using Freon-based gas mixtures. Etching at practical rates is possible with only 100 V self-bias when using PCl3 discharges, and the addition of microwave excitation under these conditions enhances the etch rates by factors of 2–9. At higher self-biases (300 V) etch rates of 3500–8000 Å · min−1 are possible with PCl3 although the surface morphologies are significantly rougher and the etching less anisotropic than with CCl2F2-based mixtures.
