Abstract

A process for etching III-V nitride and III-V nitride alloy materials first implants selected regions of the materials with ions and then selectively etches the implanted regions in an etching liquid, such as an aqueous base. The etch depth is controlled by the energy, mass and dose of the implanted ions.
