Semiconductor etching process
A process for plasma etching a compound semiconductor heterostructure, e.g. to fabricate a ridge laser on a wavelength demultiplexer comprises anisotropic etching of the semiconductor by exposure to a plasma incorporating methane, hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen content of the plasma is derived from...

| Zusammenfassung: | A process for plasma etching a compound semiconductor heterostructure, e.g. to fabricate a ridge laser on a wavelength demultiplexer comprises anisotropic etching of the semiconductor by exposure to a plasma incorporating methane, hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen content of the plasma is derived from a gaseous precursor such as carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide. |
