Three-dimensional structuring of sapphire by sequential He<sup>+</sup> ion-beam implantation and wet chemical etching

We present a method for the selective two- and three-dimensional patterning of sapphire using light ion-beam implantation to generate severe lattice damage to depths exceeding 1 µm and subsequent selective wet chemical etching of the damaged regions by hot H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4<...
