As next-generation compound semiconductor devices such as GaN HEMTs, SiC power transistors, and high-density 2D electronics continue to scale down, conventional continuous Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) etching encounters critical physical limitations. Standard plasma processes often introduce crystal lattice degradation, surface roughness, and uncontrolled over-etching due to high-energy ion bombardment and continuous chemical exposure. Samco’s Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) technology overcomes these physical constraints by decoupling the etching process into sequential, self-limiting reaction steps. By strictly separating chemical surface modification from reaction product desorption, our systems deliver sub-nanometer depth precision, preserve underlying crystal integrity, and ensure complete immunity to micro-loading across varying pattern densities, bridging the gap from advanced laboratory research to high-volume manufacturing.
