Summary :

Dry etching is one of the elemental technologies for the fabrication of optical devices. In order to obtain the desired shape using the dry etching process, it is necessary to understand the reactivity of the materials being used to plasma. In particular, III-V compound semiconductors have a multi-layered structure comprising a plurality of elements and thus it is important to first have a full understanding of the basic trends of plasma dry etching, the plasma type and the characteristics of etching plasma sources. In this paper, III-V compound semiconductor etching for use in light sources such as LDs and LEDs, will be described. Glass, LN and LT used in the formation of waveguides and MLA will be introduced as well. And finally, the future prospects of dry etching will be described briefly.
