Re: SF6 recipe at pquest

Seongjae,

GaAs will not etch GaAs in a F based recipe if that is what you are asking. If you want to etch SiO2 over GaAs, below is a recipe from 2003 for forming micro lens. I expect Jim Kurger has an some oxide etch recipes for the PQ. Jim

Hello labmembers,

Does anyone of labmembers and staff members know a proper F-based recipe
for etching GaAs with an oxide mask at a selectivity > 4:1?
It will be really appreciated if you recommend one of recipes
of which GaAs etch rate is a value you know, with the high selectivity.

Thank you.
