The fabrication of high resolution patterns on InP-substrates by focused io
n beam implantation and selective wet chemical etching has been investigate
d. InP acts as positive resist for Ga+ focused ion beam exposure and develo
pment by HF. The values of contrast and sensitivity have been determined to
12 and 1.5 x 10(13) cm(-2), respectively. By this technique short period l
ine gratings with a linewidth of 30 nm have been fabricated.
