Abstract
The flawed surface of GaAs/GaAlAs heterointerface after wet etching by H2O2 and NH4OH based etch ant was studied in this work. The results showed that the surface of GaAs/GaAlAs heterointerface had convex point, etching pits, pinhole, fog point, and friction scratches were investigated with a etch step measurement. And imprinting the main reasons for the formation of the etching surface defects of GaAs/GaAlAs are the poor quality of epitaxial materials, the contamination of materials surface, the unclear interface of oxidation and doping, the inhomogeneity of concentration and the operation errors. The selective etching of the GaAs/GaAlAs material eliminates some flaws and improves the quality of the etching surface of the GaAs/GaAlAs material.
