Ordered microstructures were formed on an InP substrate by metal‐assisted chemical etching or anodic etching using a layer of colloidal crystals consisting of polystyrene spheres as a mask. When the metal‐assisted chemical etching of the InP substrate was carried out in a mixed solution of H 2 SO 4 /H 2 O 2 using a Pt honeycomb pattern as a catalyst, obtained by ion sputtering through the mask on the substrate, InP column arrays with a close‐packed configuration having an ordered periodicity were formed. Furthermore, by anodic etching at the optimum HCl concentration with a layer of colloidal crystals as a mask, InP disk arrays or pillar arrays were fabricated.
