Abstract

A variety of different possible donor and acceptor impurities have been implanted into GaN and annealed up to 1450°C. S+ and Te+ produce peak electron concentrations ≤5×1018 cm-3, well below that achievable with Si+. Mg produces p-type conductivity, but Be+- and C+ - implanted samples remained n type. No redistribution was observed for any of the implanted species for 1450°C annealing. Much more effective damage removal was achieved for 1400°C annealing of high-dose (5 × 1015 cm-2) Si+ implanted GaN, compared to the more commonly used 1100°C annealing.
