Etching of Gallium Arsenide with atomic hydrogen

An optical interferometric method is used to make in-situ observations of continuous etching of the (100) GaAs surface during exposure to a known concentration of thermalised hydrogen atoms downstream from an H₂ plasma. Etch rates between 3 and 9 nm/min are followed at constant temperature within th...
