The diffusion of ion-implanted tin in gallium arsenide was investigated as a function of temperature, dose and background doping. The chemical depth profiles were determined using SIMS and the carrier profiles were determined by CV Etch Profiling. The data was fit using a numerical process simulator, SUPREM 3.5. Sn diffusivity was found to depend on the square of the electron concentration. Sn and Ge were found to have relatively high diffusivities when implanted, while Si diffused very little.
