We have investigated the use of focused ion beam (FIB) etching for the fabrication of GaN-based devices. Although work has shown that conventional reactive ion etching (RIE) is in most cases appropriate for the GaN device fabrication, the direct write facility of FIB etching – a well-established technique for optical mask repair and for IC failure analysis and repair – without the requirement for depositing an etch mask is invaluable. A gallium ion beam of about 20nm diameter was used to sputter GaN material. The etching rate depends linearly on the ion dose per area with a slope of 3.5 × 10−4 μm3/pC. At a current of 3nA, for example, this corresponds to an each rate of 1.05 μm3/s. Good etching qualities have been achieved with a side wall roughness significantly below 0.1 μm. Change in the roughness of the etched surface plane stay below 8nm.

ABSTRACTDirect write in the past has generated the excitement of possibly replacing photoresist for all electronic applications. Removing the mask would substantially reduce the number of steps required to produce electronic circuits. A reduction in steps represented time and dollar savings. The advantage of being able to direct write a manufacturable device would also save time and money in the design process as well. With all of the obvious advantages, it seemed inevitable that research dollars would continue to mount and thus overcome the obstacles preventing this technology from becoming more than a novel technique used in laboratories. As Moore's law began to settle in, so did photoresist and direct write was little more than a novelty.That was then, and this is now. Developers have come to terms with the true value direct write can supply to the manufacturers and design engineers. Techniques such as Focused Ion Beam (FIB), Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition (LCVD), ink jetting and ink penning have found real applications that are making a difference in industry. A summary will be presented describing the various direct write techniques, their current applications and the possible or probable applications.
