AlGaAs/GaAs mirror etch

Changping,

I use 8sccm Ar 1.6 sccm BCl3 @ 40 watts in a RIE.  I keep my chamber
pressure below 5mT.
There is a secret.  You need to pump on the AlGaAs sample a few hours
and your system can
have no air leaks.  If you have an air leak your AlGaAs will etch very
slow and leave a dark residue.

  Hi, Can anyone suggest a dry etch recipe of AlGaAs/GaAs DBR mirror?
  What gases are needed? Thanks!  Changping
