Abstract: A method for etching at least a portion of a layer based on a III-N material includes exposing a least one portion of an upper face of the III-N layer to a plasma treatment with bias voltage pulsing based on chlorine, wherein the plasma treatment is configured to present a duty cycle comprised between 20% and 80%. A first non-zero polarization bias is applied to the substrate during Ton, and a second polarization bias lesser than the first non-zero polarization bias or no polarization bias is applied, during Toff, so as to etch the portion of the III-N layer. The duration of the etching is significantly reduced to obtain a satisfying quality of the III-N layer for the operation of a microelectronic device, such as a transistor or a diode.
