    Abstract
    The impact of chlorine-based etch conditions on etch profile and etched-surface quality was investigated. For this purpose, ALD HfSiOx/Ga2O3 trench-MOSCAPs were utilized as the test structure to understand the impact of etch conditions on sidewall quality (e.g. sidewall roughness and process-induced damage). UV-assisted capacitance-voltage measurements were employed to quantify the interface trap density.
