Abstract

GaN ablative etching using coaxial irradiation of KrF excimer laser and F₂ laser has been explored. The etching process is consisted of pulsed laser ablation and successive acid treatment. Single pulse ablation using KrF excimer planarizes etched surface, however, multiple KrF irradiation roughens etched surface significantly. Small fraction of F₂ laser simultaneously irradiated with KrF excimer laser improves surface roughness caused in the case of single-KrF irradiation. Irradiating delay time between both lasers is varied in order to investigate excitation mechanism as well as find optimum irradiation condition.
