Abstract

Heterogeneous integration of InP devices to Si substrates by adhesive-less micro
transfer printing requires flattest surfaces for optimum attachment and thermal sinking.
InGaAs and InAlAs sacrificial layers are compared for the selective undercut of InP coupons
by FeCl3:H2O (1:2). InAlAs offers isotropic etches and superior selectivity (> 4,000) to InP
when compared with InGaAs. A 500 nm thick InAlAs sacrificial layer allows the release of wide coupons with surface roughness < 2 nm and flatness < 20 nm. The InAlAs release technology is applied to the transfer printing of a pre-fabricated InP laser to a Si substrate.
