Acceptor Behavior of Implanted Beryllium in Gallium Arsenide and Gallium Arsenide Phosphide.
Abstract
Beryllium is known to be an acceptor in GaAs. Controlled Be doping of GaAs by standard diffusion or growth processes is very difficult. Its small mass, however, makes it more suitable for ion implantation doping of GaAs and GaAs(1-x)P(x) than Zn, which is the conventional acceptor. Implanted Zn diffuses rapidly during the anneal in these materials. Thus Zn implantation serves as a predeposition rather than a method of controlled doping. Photoluminescence and electrical measurements on Be-implanted GaAs and GaAs(1-x)P(x)(x approx. 0.38) presented in this work indicate excellent impurity activation and lattice reordering after room temperature implantation and suitable annealing.
