Abstract

We have studied the formation of heavily doped n-type layers in LPE GaInAs using ion implantation. 400 keV selenium ions have been implanted in dose ranges of 5 × 1013 to 1 × 1015 cm−2 at room temperature. For the high dose implants we have reproducibly achieved activities of 20–40% and sheet Hall mobilities of 700–1000 cm−2 V−1 s−1 and peak carrier concentrations of about 1019 cm−3. TEM and RBS results indicate that for long time anneals residual damage persists in the implanted layers, however, anneals at 800°C for 30 seconds perfectly recrystallize the implanted layers.
