✦ Synopsis
Optical in situ monitoring, exploiting the interference of monochromatic radiation reÑected from the surface being chemically etched and from the deeper interfaces of semiconductor layers, was utilized to monitor the etch process of layered AlGaAs/AlAs/GaAs structures. The described method is applicable in controlled etching of heterostructures in order to terminate the etch process precisely and it is also suitable for analysis and diagnostics of epitaxially grown layers and for calibration of etch rates.
