The etching rate of the NH 4 OH : H 2 O 2 : H 2 O = 1:4:20 etch was determined on epitaxial GaAs films and bulk GaAs monocrystals. The etching process has a rather large scattering at the start of the process depending on the origin and properties of films. The etching rate of epitaxial layers approaches the value of 2 μm/min, characteristic of bulk crystals. Surfaces treated with the 1:4:20 etch are applicable to ohmic contacts of Gunn diodes.
