  • Abstract
    The etching selectivity of AlGaAs and InGaAs was studied and analyzed. Different chemical solutions and compositions were varied to study the etch rate effect between these two materials. The etching rates and selectivity of the H3PO4:H2O2:H2O, H2SO4:H2O2:H2O and C6H8O7:H2O2 is compared. The results show that the C6H8O7:H2O2 chemical solution exhibits higher etch rate and significant selectivity in comparison with H3PO4:H2O2:H2O, H2SO4:H2O2:H2O.
