Abstract

Samples of n+-GaAs implanted with 300 keV protons have been examined using high resolution electron microscopy, capacitance-voltage profilometry, and infrared reflectance. In contrast to previously reported results, electron microscopic examination of the as-implanted samples revealed the presence of dislocation loops and/or precipitates both near the wafer surface and at the bottom of the implanted layer. These results are corroborated by electrical and optical measurements.
