Abstract. The nature and kinetics of InAs chemical dissolution and chemical cutting, in the bromine solutions in hydrobromic acid have been investigated. It was shown that at low (up to 6 vol.%) bromine concentrations the InAs dissolution rate grows linearly with bromine concentration. Such solutions may be used to chemically polish InAs. Solutions containing from 20 to 30 vol.% Br2 in HBr dissolve InAs with the rate 25 to 50 m/min forming polished surfaces with etch pits. Such solutions may be used to chemically cut indium arsenide.

Key words: dissolution, hydrobromic acid, etchant, indium arsenide, bromine, diffusion stage.
