ABSTRACTWe present a comparative study of the effects of low power reactive ion etching (RIE) on GaN and InN. This new, highly chemical, dry etching, using CF4 and Ar, has been developed for thin nitride films grown at low temperature in our laboratories. GaN films were grown by remote plasma enhanced-laser induced chemical vapor deposition and InN films were grown by radio-frequency RF reactive sputtering. Commercial GaN samples were also examined. Optical and electrical characteristics of the films are reported before and after removing 100 to 200 nm of the film surface by RIE. We have previously shown that the GaN films, although polycrystalline after growth, may be re-crystallized below the growth temperature. Removal of the surface oxide has been found to be imperative since a polycrystalline residue remains on the surface after re-crystallization.

ABSTRACTPolythiophene thin films have been deposited by a novel plasma technique which avoids the disadvantages of conventional plasma-based processes. In particular, the thiophene precursor is injected into an activated argon stream rather than into a plasma. The films produced are dense and uniform, with surface roughness of less than 1 nm. Other film properties are comparable to films deposited by more conventional methods. These films have been processed by reactive ion etching to produce micron-scale features.
