Photoacoustic Spectra on Laser-Annealed GaAs Surfaces

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) spectra of n-type GaAs active layers implanted with 1×1015 Si+ cm-2 at 100–180 keV followed by Q-switched ruby laser annealing at 25 nsec pulse width, 0.8 J·cm-2 energy under various ambiences are presented. PA signals are reduced when the ambience of 1-bar air or Ar is changed for 100-bar Ar. The reduction is also observed in a series of samples with low dose levels of 5×1012 Si+ cm-2. These reductions are consistent with the trend of stoichiometrical improvements.
