Abstract

Single and multiple energy S and Si ion-implantations were performed at room temperature (RT) and at 200 C into GaSb epitaxial layers grown on semi-insulating GaAs substrates. The implanted material was annealed with a Si3N4 cap at 400-600 C for 5 min. Secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements indicated thermal stability of Si and S implants even for 600 C annealing. Appreciable donor electrical activations of Si and S were obtained only for 200 C implantation for annealing temperatures > 500 C. For S implantation the calculated substitutional activation is 50%. Rutherford backscattering/channeling measurements indicated lattice quality close to the virgin level for samples annealed at 600 C. N-type conduction was not observed in GaSb bulk material implanted at either RT or 200 C.
