Abstract

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been applied to the study of amorphization and recrystallization mechanisms in Se+ implanted (100) GaAs. An Se+ dose of 1 × 1014 cm−2 at 450 keV (projected range 1550Å) produced an amorphous band in the depth range 250 to 2150Å below the surface. Annealing at 400°C resulted in the epitaxial regrowth of the upper and lower transition region (0–250Å and 2150 – 2500Å, respectively). Regrowth of the amorphous layer was found to proceed by the nucleation and propagation of the dense network of stacking faults bundles. These bundles disappeared on higher ≥600°C) temperature annealing. Amorphization and recrystallization mechanisms in Se+ implanted GaAs are discussed in light of these HRTEM results.
