Abstract

The plasma-induced near-surface damage in III-V based devices was examined. Surface defects can be minimized by using low ion energy and high ion flux for etching. An effective way to remove surface damage is by etching or passivating the etched surface with low energy chlorine species. Surface damage for in-plane gated (IPG) quantum wire transistors and heterostructure bipolar transistors (HBT) can be reduced substantially by surface passivation or by etching with a two-step approach.
