Abstract

It has proved possible to view dry etch damage in III-V semiconductors directly by forming a high ridge and viewing through this ridge in a Transmission Electron Microscope. In a thin perfect crystal no electrons are scattered in the (002) direction; in the dry etch sample the micrograph reveals damage to a depth of 50nm.
