Abstract

Two-dimensional electron gas 60–120-nm deep from the surface was irradiated with 10-keV Ar ions (projected range = 8.8 nm) and resulting change in the mobility was analyzed. Defect distribution thus obtained is exponential in depth with the larger penetration length for the lower irradiation temperature. In-situ Hall measurements revealed that the mobility decreases simultaneously with the irradiation at 90 K. Consequently, the deep penetration of defects is concluded to be mainly due to the ion channeling. Results of iso-chronal annealing indicate that thermal diffusion of the defect that affects the mobility takes place at around 340–400 K, whereas the mobility starts to recover at ∼120 K.
