The selective wet etching characteristics of GaAs/Al-x Ga1-xAs1-x systems in citric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution have been studied for x = 0.15, x = 0.2 and x = 0.3 respectively. A 4:1 ratio of citric acid (50% by weight)-H2O2 solution was found to be a better selective etchant than the more commonly used NH4OH-H2O2 solutions. The selectivity obtained was more than 110 for x = 0.3. The simple and reliable selective wet etchant was applied to the gate recess etching in the fabrication of pseudomorphic GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs/InyGa1-yAs heterojunction held effect transistors.
