Abstract

Studies have been made of n+-GaAs implanted with 300 keV protons to fluences of 1014−1016/cm2. Electrical studies included I–V analysis, DLTS, and thermally stimulated current measurements made on implanted FET-like structures fabricated from MBE GaAs epi-layers. Optical infrared reflectance spectra and high resolution transmission electron micrographs were obtained for as-implanted material and for specimens annealed at 300 °C and 500 °C. Results show as-implanted material can be characterized by a band of traps lying about 0.2 eV below the conduction band with a relatively uniform distribution throughout the implanted region. Thermal processing causes a significant alteration in the density and distribution of these defects.
