Popis: Patterned etching of GaN films was achieved with laser‐induced thermal decomposition. High‐energy laser pulses are used to locally heat the film above 900 °C, causing rapid nitrogen effusion. Excess gallium is then removed by conventional etching. At exposures of 0.4 J/cm2 with 355 nm light, etch rates of 50–70 nm per pulse were obtained. Illumination with an interference grating was used to produce trenches as narrow as 100 nm.
