Vacancy-type defects in 60-keV Be+-implanted GaAs and InP were studied by a monoenergetic positron beam. The depth distributions of vacancy-type defects were obtained from measurements of Doppler broadening profiles of the positron annihilation as a function of incident positron energy. Vacancy-type defects introduced by ion implantation were observed in n-type GaAs. For p-type GaAs, however, this was not the case. This can be attributed to the recombination of vacancy-type defects and pre-existed interstitial-type defects in p-type GaAs. The defects induced by ion implantation in InP were also studied.
