Abstract
Digital etching of GaAs is successfully realized using Cl radical pulse under alternating low energy Ar ion irradiation. Etch rates are independent of Cl2 feed time between 0.3-0.7 seconds. When the substrate is biased at -35 V, an etch rate which corresponds to one monoatomic layer (0.5 monolayer (ML) per cycle is obtained. Cross-sectional etch profile when the etch rate is 0.5 ML/cycle is rectangular, without any substrech, and is quite different from the profile obtained for other conditions.
