Abstract: A method of etching into an indium-based semiconductor material such as indium phosphide (InP) comprises mounting a substrate 30 comprising the material directly on a substrate support 14 within a plasma processing chamber. The indium-based semiconductor material forms a surface 30a of the substrate which carries a patterned mask distal to the substrate support structure. The processing chamber contains solid silicon 50 to be exposed to plasma generated inside the chamber, the exposed surface area of the solid silicon being at least the same as the area of the surface of the substrate which is not covered by the patterned mask. A flow of an etch gas mixture is established into the chamber, comprising an inert gas and a chlorine-bearing gas configured to release chlorine radicals in plasma generated from the etch gas mixture. A plasma is generated, exposing the solid silicon and generating silicon-containing species in the plasma, and simultaneously a radio frequency (RF) bias voltage is applied to the substrate support structure, whereby the portion of the substrate surface not covered by the patterned mask is etched by the plasma to form etched features in the indium-based semiconductor material. The solid silicon may form a surface parallel to and in the plane of the substrate surface and the substrate may be arranged in a opening in the solid silicon.
