Abstract

The positive impact of the addition of H2 to a Cl2/Ar process for the etching of InP-based heterostructures was demonstrated. It was found that the addition of H2 balances the physical and chemical components, resulting in three distinct etch profiles. A racetrack resonator with a quality factor of 8000 was also demonstrated.
