Etching Gallium Nitride

Precision Chemistry for Next-Generation Wide Bandgap Semiconductors

Master the atomic precision required to build the future of power electronics and optoelectronics.

Strategic Objectives

• Navigate the complex chemistry of GaN, AlN, and InN etching.

• Optimize plasma-surface interactions for maximum selectivity and minimal damage.

• Master high-density plasma sources like ICP and ECR for precise patterning.

• Implement advanced endpoint detection and surface passivation techniques.

The Core Challenge

The extreme chemical stability of Group-III nitrides makes conventional etching impossible, demanding complex high-density plasma solutions.
