Selective etching of p-type GaN against AlGaN is required for the fabrication of GaN-HEMTs with p-type gates. In previous studies, selective etching using chlorine/oxygen plasma has been reported, but damage formation to the surface of AlGaN has been an issue. In this report, we describe a technique to achieve selective etching and reduction of damage by plasma etching at substrate heating.
