Abstract

A report on inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactive ion etching of ZnO using BCl3-based plasmas, was presented. Etch rates were studied as a function of BCl3/Cl2/Ar chemistries, ICP coil power, working pressure and substrate temperature. It was shown that the BCl 3-based etching process produces negligible changes in the surface stoichiometry of ZnO.
