摘要
We investigated the in situ observation of the etching profile in inductively coupled plasma etching of GaAs and InP, which enables real-time control of the etching profile and depth from outside the process chamber. The etching profile image of the line and space was obtained with a long-distance microscope. The image was almost the same as that obtained with a scanning electron microscope or a conventional optical microscope. We think that this proposed method is an important monitoring technique for real-time control in the dry etching process.
