Dry Etch Recipe for InP in Chlorine based ICP

Recipe

Gases:

Cl2

25 sccm

N2

75 sccm
Pressure1.00 Pa
RF Power1000 W
Bias potential-100 V
Temperature190 °C

Etch characteristics

Etch rate: 20 nm/min
Anisotropy: 100 %

Selectivity

Selective over all non-organic materials

Remarks

Etch rate does not depend on bake temperature of the resist
Large aspect ratio dependence; over etch may be required
Reproducibility: 5 %
This process is also used for descumming (15-20 s) and sharpening resist profiles
