Abstract

LPE Ga0.47 In0.53 As layers, lattice matched to (100) InP have been implanted with Mg+ and Se+ ions at room temperature. Electron concentrations of the order of 1019 cm−3 have been achieved in the case of selenium implanted material. This gives low values of sheet resistivity of less than 20 Ω/□ and is useful for making ohmic contacts. The Mg+ implants, however, do not show any electrical activity. A difference in the annealing behaviour of Mg+ and Se+ implanted GaInAs has been observed by TEM. Transient annealing, employing a graphite strip heater and an incoherent light furnace, was the major annealing technique used. Samples for TEM studies also included annealing cycles in a conventional furnace.
