“…In this paper, four typical anisotropic etching techniques for GaInAsP-InP have been investigated, i.e., Cl -based RIBE [62]- [64], methane CH -based RIBE [65], [66], selective wet chemical etching with hydrogen chrolide (HCl) solution [67]- [69] and anodic chemical etching [51], [70]. For Cl RIBE, ultrahigh vaccum system ANELVA UHV-ECR [63], [64] was used. An advantage of this etching for GaInAsP-InP is the high etch rate and negligible retreat of mask edge.…”
