Abstract
An effective wet chemical etching method for p-GaN is proposed based on the surface band bending of the semiconductor. The metal organic chemical vapo ur deposition (MOCVD) grown p-CaN was successfully etched by biasing the su bstrate below -3V during photoenhanced electrochemical etching using KOH: s olution and Hg lamp illumination. The etch rate increased with increasing n egative voltage and was as high as 2.1 mu m/min at -10V.
