Plasma etching of III-V semiconductor thin films

TLDR
In this article, the authors describe the use of various plasma etching techniques in III-V semiconductor technology, which is consistent with an integrated processing concept in that plasma etch is a vacuum technique, and the dry etch reactor chamber can be coupled with other deposition, annealing or epitaxial growth chambers via load locks and transfer arms.
