ABSTRACTA scanned cw Nd: YAG laser was used to anneal ion-implanted GaAs and InP wafers. Measurements show that electrical activation is greater for p-type than for n-type dopants in GaAs, while in InP, the opposite is observed. A simple Fermi-level pinning model is presented to explain not only the electrical properties we have measured, but also those observed by other workers. We have fabricated GaAs and InP solar cells with junctions formed by ion implantation followed by laser annealing. The GaAs cells have much better conversion efficiencies than the InP cells, and this difference can be explained in terms of the model.

ABSTRACTCW laser annealing techniques were incorporated into standard MOS/SOS transistor fabrication procedures and found to be advantageous as compared to conventional furnace methods for electrical activation of ion–implanted source/drain dopants for both N- and P–MOS transistors. Static electrical characteristics of 2.4 μm channel–length transistors are similar for both types of annealing, whereas the speed of devices with cw laser annealed source–drain regions is increased 10 to 40%, depending on the operating voltage.

ABSTRACTIn an effort to understand the origin of defects earlier found to be present in p–n junctions formed by pulsed laser annealing (PLA) of ion implanted (II) semiconducting GaAs, photoluminescence (PL) studies have been carried out. PL spectra have been obtained at 4K, 77K and 300K, for both n–and p–type GaAs, for laser energy densities 0 ≤ El ≤ 0.6 J/cm2. It is found that PLA of crystalline (c−) GaAs alters the PL spectrum and decreases the PL intensity, corresponding to an increase in density of non-radiative recombination centers with increasing El. The variation of PL intensity with El is found to be different for n– and p–type material. No PL is observed from high dose (1 or 5×1015 ions/cm2 ) Sior Zn-implanted GaAs, either before or after laser annealing. The results suggest that the ion implantation step is primarily responsible for formation of defects associated with the loss of radiative recombination, with pulsed annealing contributing only secondarily.

ABSTRACTArsenic and argon implantation damage is characterized by Rutherford backscattering in GaAs undoped VPE buffer layers grown on Cr-O doped semi-insulating substrates and capless annealed in a H2 −As4 atmosphere provided by AsH3. The damage detected in the RBS channeled spectra varies as a function of the ion mass, the implant depth and the annealing temperature of the stress-free controlled atmosphere technique. This damage is discussed in terms of the stoichiometric disturbances introduced by the implantation process. The as-implanted and annealed damage characteristics of the Ar and As implants are correlated to the electrical activation characteristics of Si and Se implants in GaAs, respectively.
