Laser Chemical Etching of Vias in GaAs.

Abstract

Rapid drilling of vias in thick wafers (381 micons) of GaAs has been achieved by a laser assisted etching process. The technique utilized a CW visible argon ion laser and an etchant gas of low pressure C12. Data on the dependence of the etch rate on the laser power, wavelength and C12 gas pressure are presented.
