Defect selective etching of gaasyp1 y photovoltaic materials

Effects of normal load and etching time on current evolution of

The process of the scratch-induced selective etching in H 2 SO 4 /H 2 O 2 /H 2 O solution. With an AFM, two scanning modes, i.e. line and area scanning, were used for scratching on GaAs surface, and then the scanned surface was etched in the mixed solution. AFM images show the scanned GaAs surface before and after selective etching.

Etch Pit Observation of Very Thin {001}-GaAs Layer by Molten KOH

The etching rate on a {001} plane of GaAs in molten KOH as the etchant is examined in order to reveal etch pits corresponding to dislocations for thin GaAs layers. The mean etching rates were 0.083 µm/min. and 0.98 µm/min. at 300°C and 350°C, respectively. It was found that the etching thickness of about 0.3 µm was sufficient to reveal the dislocation structure.
