In this work, the dependence of plasma-chemical etching rate and the roughness of the surface of gallium arsenide crater on chloropentafluoroethane (C2F5Cl) concentration in a mixture with chlorine, forward power and etching duration were studied. Characteristics of GaAs etching crater were studied by white light interferometry and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that C2F5Cl addition in chlorine-containing inductively coupled plasma led to a nonlinear change of gallium arsenide etching rate with time which can be explained by passivation of substrate surface at the initial stage by products of freon decay. Along with this, characteristics of the etching profile of GaAs are significantly improved. Forward power increase contributes to development of roughness, while the etching rate increases nonlinearly.

Abstract The epitaxial layers of n-n+-GaN were processed by plasma-chemical etching using a Sentech SI 500 unit equipped with an inductively coupled plasma source. The regimes of gallium nitride processing in chlorine plasma have been established, which make it possible to remove epitaxial layers of the semiconductor down to a depth of 10 μm with a smooth surface. Based on the obtained processing results, prototype samples of Schottky diode microstructures with quasi-vertical contact geometry were manufactured. The effect of pretreatment on the characteristics of instrument microstructures is demonstrated.

This paper presents the data for frequency trimming of the single port STW resona-tors in a frequency range of 500–1000 MHz by plasma chemical etching method. The main parameters of resonators after frequency trimming are given: frequency tolerance <±100·10–6, quality factor of 8600–9500, equivalent elements needed for use of the STW resonators.
