Abstract
Electrochemical etching of III-nitride-materials is a fast-developing research field. This method is used to selectively porosify or completely etch such materials and thereby opens up a new design space for both photonic and electronic devices. Here we will focus on complete lateral electrochemical etching for substrate removal to realise thin-film vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Key challenges that will be addressed are how to achieve etched surfaces as smooth as the as-grown material and how to protect fully processed and highly doped device structures such as tunnel junctions, during substrate removal.
