  • Abstract
    We present the undercutting rate of an indium phosphide crystal as a function of angle within the (100) plane. We use concentrated HC1 as the etchant and epitaxial InGaAsP as an etch mask. Undercutting behaviour including wall profile is determined as a function of etch time. The resulting description can be used to design crystallographic structures with a variety of orientations.
