摘要
Ca+ and Mg+ ions were homogeneously implanted in GaN in a dose range between 5x10(12) and 7.3x10(16) cm(-2) at a variety of substrate temperatures from liquid nitrogen temperature to 500 degrees C. The implantation energies were 180 keV for Ca+ and 90 keV for Mg+ implantation, respectively. The structural properties of the implanted film before and after rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 1150 degrees C in flowing N-2 were studied by Rutherford backscattering/channeling (RBS/C). X-ray diffraction (XRD). and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. The damage buildup and removal was quantitatively assessed. Significant decomposition of GaN has been observed during RTA 1150 degrees C under flowing N-2 even though for the very short time of 15 s. Lattice expansion due to implantation doping was found and its dependence on ion dose and substrate temperature has been determined. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
