Etching of an InP piece on Si carrier
InP piece patterned with SiO2. The piece was etched on top of a Si wafer without bonding. The recipe "InP etch" was used. The roughness looks high in the bottom of the etched areas, especially in the large open areas.

Zoom in on the large roughness -
closed look at the large roughness in the open areas.
Etching of an InP piece on SiO2 carrier
InP piece patterned with SiO2. The piece was etched on top of a Si wafer coated with SiO2 without bonding. The recipe "InP etch" was used. The roughness looks low in the bottom of the etched areas, even in the large open areas.
