  • Abstract
    The chemical etching system SBW:H2O:H3PO4 (where SBW=saturated bromine water) has been used for AlInAs MBE material. This solution exhibits a diffusion-controlled reaction with low etching rate, linear dependence of the etched depth against etching time and good morphologies. With this solution a second-order grating has been made in AlInAs by means of holographic techniques.
