Quantitative energy-dependent EBIC measurements have been used to calibrate the photoetching rate in HF-CrO3 aqueous solutions (DSL method: Diluted Sirtl-like etching with the use of Light) as a function of dopant concentration in LEC grown n-type GaAs samples containing growth striations. The relative DSL etching rate depends on the width of the surface depletion region associated with the semiconductor-etching solution interface, i. e. greater etch rates correspond to smaller dopant concentrations. These results are in agreement with the electrochemical model of GaAs etching in the DSL etching system.

Abstract

Quantitative energy-dependent EBIC measurements have been used to calibrate the photoetching rate in HF-CrO3 aqueous solutions (DSL method: Diluted Sirtl-like etching with the use of Light) as a function of dopant concentration in LEC grown n-type GaAs samples containing growth striations. The relative DSL etching rate depends on the width of the surface depletion region associated with the semiconductor-etching solution interface, i. e. greater etch rates correspond to smaller dopant concentrations. These results are in agreement with the electrochemical model of GaAs etching in the DSL etching system.
