Procedure

Title : III-V ICP Etcher

Description : DTU requires a ICP reactive ion etcher to etch III-V materials with a special focus on etching GaAs micropillar devices from a planar microcavity (“the Instrument”). The system is expected to be delivered as soon as possible but at the latest in Q3 2026. The Instrument is to be the core instrument for a research project on optical devices. Besides that, it will be part of the shared open access instruments at the facility supporting research in micro and nano fabrication within optical devices and quantum computer developments. Therefore, DTU need a state-of-the-art instrument that can meet all current and future needs for etching III-V materials like GaAs, AlGaAs, InGaAs, AlInGaAsP and InP .
