The processing of the wet etching have been studied with experiments in oxidation confinement high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) in order to improve opto-electric characteristics of high-power VCSEL. In the experiments we use the H

liquid as etching liquid in stead of H

liquid. The relation between the etching shape change of the epitaxial wafer with etching liquid consistency by scanning electron microscope (SEM)
we eliminated the "dovetail" structure that conventionally happened on the lateral side of the etched wall of high-power VCSEL oxidation layer; By chaging the etching liquid content and the etching condition temperature
we have studied the law of the wet etching rate. At last
we have obtained the best temperature condition and etching liquid concentration of wet etching through the experiment.
