Abstract
Smooth, anisotropic dry etching of InN layers is demonstrated in low pressure (1-30 Torr) CH/sub 4H/sub 2/, Cl/sub 2H/sub 2/ or CCl/sub 2/F/sub 2Ar Electron Cyclotron Resonance discharges with additional dc biasing of the sample. Increasing the applied microwave power produces significant enhancements in etch rate. The presence of H/sub 2/ or F/sub 2/ in the gas chemistries is necessary to facilitate equi-rate removal of the group III and nitrogen etch products, leading to smooth surface morphologies. F/sup +/ implantation at doses of /spl sim/10/sup 15/ cm/sup -2/ produces sheet resistances >5/spl times/10/sup 3/ /spl Omega/spl square/ in initially degenerately n/sup +/(4/spl times/10/sup 20/ cm/sup -3/) InN, and values >10/sup 6/ /spl Omega/spl square/ in lower-doped (/spl les/3/spl times/10/sup 19/ cm/sup -3/) ternary alloys InGaN and InAlN.<>
