Abstract

Arsenic and argon implantation damage is characterized by Rutherford backscattering in GaAs undoped VPE buffer layers grown on Cr-O doped semi-insulating substrates and capless annealed in a H2 −As4 atmosphere provided by AsH3. The damage detected in the RBS channeled spectra varies as a function of the ion mass, the implant depth and the annealing temperature of the stress-free controlled atmosphere technique. This damage is discussed in terms of the stoichiometric disturbances introduced by the implantation process. The as-implanted and annealed damage characteristics of the Ar and As implants are correlated to the electrical activation characteristics of Si and Se implants in GaAs, respectively.
