Fabrication of deep-etched Distributed Bragg Reflectors in AlGaInP GaAs laser stuctures

This thesis describes work undertaken to understand the physics of dry-etching AlGaInP/GaAs laser structures in Cl-based plasmas to develop a process that allows the fabrication of high-aspect-ratio, sub-micron features. The effects of the main process parameters on the etch rate, selectivity and po...
