摘要
RF-plasma reactive ion etching of GaAs using a dilute mixture of methane in helium, hydrogen, neon or argon is described. The process is shown to etch GaAs at rates up to 60 nm min-1 for CH4:Ar, with a high degree of anisotropy. Results show that etch rates scale with the substitution of He < Ne < H2 < Ar admixtures.
