InP/InGaAsP/InGaAs etch

Unselective etch for large sized features and small aspect ratios by David Larsson, DTU Photonics, 2011

Recipe InP Etch 1/InP Precond 1
Cl2 flow 20 sccm
N2 flow 40 sccm
Ar flow 10 sccm
Platen power 100 W
Coil power 500 W
Pressure 2 mTorr
Platen chiller temperature 180 oC


Results (InP Etch 1)
Etch rate 500-600 nm/min
Sidewall angle 86-87 o
Selectivity (InP:SiO2, InP:HSQ) 50:1

InP etching June 2018

With InP piece on Si carrier

InP piece patterned with SiO2. The pice was etched on top of a Si wafer without bonding. The "InP etch" was used.
