Abstract

Plasma etching of gallium arsenide in RF discharge in freon R-12 was carried out. It is shown that the adjustment of parameters such as the sample’s handling time and bias potential determine the quality of the future semiconductor structure. Nevertheless, samples surface quality control remains an urgent task of modern electronics. In this paper, the samples surface control was carried out by atomic force microscope Solver - P47Pro.
