Abstract :
Several structures produced by dry etching of InP substrates are studied. RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) and ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) dry etching procedures were compared. The characterization was carried out by spectrum imaging Cathodoluminescence (CL). The main changes induced by both procedures in the InP substrates were studied. In particular, the creation of defects and the generation of residual stress were analysed
