We report the masidess holographic fabrication of submicron relief diffraction gratings with periods 230-500 nm and depth-to-spacing ratio as high as 0.5 on the surface ofp-GaAs under visible laser light. The gratings were fabricated in the process of photochemical wet etching by laser-induced etch rate reduction method. The physical mechanism of laserinduced grating formation in p-type semiconductors is considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
