Abstract

Donor (S, Se, and Te) and acceptor (Mg, Be, and C) dopants have been implanted into GaN at doses of 3-5×1014 cm-2 and annealed at temperatures up to 1450 °C. No redistribution of any of the elements is detectable by secondary ion mass spectrometry, except for Be, which displays behavior consistent with damage-assisted diffusion at 900 °C. At higher temperatures, there is no further movement of the Be, for peak annealing temperature durations of 10 s. Effective diffusivities are ≤2×10-13 cm2·s-1 at 1450 °C for each of the dopants in GaN.
