Popis: | The reproducible fabrication of narrow (∼1.1 μm wide) mesas for InP-InGaAsP buried heterostructure lasers requires development of high quality stepper lithography and anisotropic dry etching of both the SiO 2 etch/regrowth mask and the underlying semiconductor. Using a contrast enhancement method we demonstrate production of 1.1 μm photoresist lines with excellent uniformity (≤7% variation in width) over 2 in. O wafers. High fidelity pattern transfer to the underlying SiO 2 is achieved using a low pressure (1 mTorr) electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) SF 6 /Ar discharge with low additional dc bias (-75 V) on the sample |
