Abstract

Photoreflectance has been used to characterize the etch-induced damage in GaAs processed in an Ar/Cl2 plasma generated by an electron-cyclotron resonance (ECR) source. We show that the damage is localized to the surface and that it is most influenced by the RF power, with little effect from the microwave power. The Fermi-level is observed to be unchanged in n-GaAs and remains near midgap, while for p-GaAs, the Fermi level shifts from near the valence band to midgap. Etch-induced anisite defects are proposed as a possible source of the damage.
