Abstract

The electrical activity of low doses of Ge implanted into GaAs amorphous layers has been studied. The amorphous layers were created by the heavy (1E15 & 3E15 ions/cm 2) Ga- or As-ion pre-bombardment into GaAs substrate. Ge-ion implantation was performed at 120 KeV with doses from SE12 to 1E14 ions/cm 2. Implanted samples were annealed with pyrolytic silicon nitride encapsulants at temperatures 750, 850 & 950oC. Anneal behavior of sheet resistance, surface carrier concentration, Hall mobility and activation efficiency for various doses of Ge were measured by employing van der Pauw Halleffect/resistivity measurements.
