Fluorine, boron and oxygen implantation in GaAs has been investigated by electrical characterization using current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage (C-V) and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) techniques. Ion implantation at lOOkeV energy was conducted with doses of 1011 and 1012/cm2. Carrier compensation was observed in each implanted sample. The compensation effect strongly depended on ion implantation conditions and ion species. Severe surface damage was also induced which degrades electrical performance. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment showed the heavier ion implanted samples to be more thermally stable. Defect levels for each implanted species were compared and identified.
