Data - InP Ridge Etch (Unaxis VLR)

InP Ridge Etch: 200°C, 1.4mT, 800W/125W, Cl₂=6.3, H₂=12.7, Ar=2.0 sccm, time=1min30sec (90sec) Sample Size: 1x1cm epi-grade InP, ~30-40% SiO₂ masking (NingC's pattern). Silicon carrier, no adhesive. Conditioning: Prior to the etch, do O2 clean 15 minutes, then, chamber coating with the same recipe on 1/4-2" InP on Silicon carrier for 15 minutes.
