GaAs nanostructures has attracted more and more attention due to its excellent properties such as increasing photon absorption. The fabrication process on GaAs substrate were rarely reported and most of the preparation processes are complex. Here, we reported a black GaAs fabrication process using a simple Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching process,with no extra lithography process. The fabricated sample has a low Reflectance value,close to zero. Besides, the black GaAs also displayed hydrophobic property, with a water contact angle (CA) of 125°. This kind of black GaAs etching process could be added to the fabrication workflow of photodetectors and solar cell devices to further improve their characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
