Abstract

We have studied in some detail the activation of implanted Si and Mg ions in InAs, GaSb and GaP after rapid thermal annealing. Even at doses of 1015 cm−2, the activation percentage of Mg is relatively high after optimum anneals -80% in GaP, 55% in GaSb and 45% in InAs. There is considerable outdiffusion of Mg in all three semiconductors for extended heat treatments. The amphoteric species Si shows good activation (60% for 1015 cm−2 dose) in InAs, a saturation electrically active concentration of ∼3 × 1013 cm−2 in GaP, and very low electrical activity in GaSb. The regrowth and damage removal characteristics in the three materials are similar to those of GaAs and InP.
