Abstract :
Controlled etching of III-V compound semiconductors is an important step in the fabrication of discrete and integrated components. We have developed a system which allows a 1.3 ¿m diameter light spot to be obtained. Displacement of the spot on the sample and speed are controlled by a computer for any desired figure. The light spot is used to photochemically etch GaAs immersed in aqueous solutions.
