Abstract

With great attention now being given to the wide band gap materials for electronic and optoelectronic device applications, there is interest in using ion implantation to introduce dopants into selected regions of devices. Work on ion implantation into SiC and the III-V nitrides is reviewed, new device concepts are given, and recent results are presented. These include SiC implantations at elevated temperatures, a GaN sample implanted with Si having an electron mobility after annealing of 106 cm2/V-s, and a novel GaN np junction diode created by implantation.
