摘要
We report the reactive ion etching of gallium nitride (GaN) using methylchloride/hydrogen, CH3Cl/H-2,. The effect of the rf power input, total gas flow rate, pressure and gas chemistry on etch rate were investigated and the optimum process identified using the orthogonal design method. Etch rates of 100 nm/min have been obtained. A study of the effect of etching on the contact resistance vias carried out which showed an increase in resistance for etched samples.
