Abstract

This paper discusses the properties of high intensity lamp-annealed silicon or beryllium-implanted GaAs and InP samples. We find this annealing process can result in efficient activation of dopants. Conventional furnace annealing at the same temperature does not result in increased electrical activation of the dopants. High fluence silicon implants can be activated in anneal times as short as 2 seconds, while low fluence silicon implants require more extended annealing. Activation of low fluence implants in GaAs depends strongly on the properties of the bulk semiinsulating material.
