Abstract

Oxygen ion-implantation can be used to create high resistivity regions in GaAs and InP. We have studied the low dose oxygen implantation in GaAs and InP by photoreflectance spectroscopy (PR), deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatments were carried out at different temperatures after implantation to study the annealing temperature effect. The surface disturbance by implantation was studied by PR. Free carrier compensation was observed in every implanted sample and gave improved I-V properties. By DLTS tests, one electron trap with Ea = Ec-0.15eV and a hole trap with Ea = Ev + 0.76eV in the starting GaAs wafer disappeared after O+ implantation due to carrier compensation. In undoped InP, three new electron traps with Ea = Ec-0.47eV, 0.28eV and O.lleV were created after O+ implantation which are believed to be damage related. The comparison of the results from undoped and n-type doped InP indicated that the carrier compensation effect is substrate doping dependent.
