Interaction of Be and O in GaAs

Abstract
Oxygen implanted at a concentration above that of the acceptors in p‐type GaAs is shown to create thermally stable, high‐resistivity material only in the case of Be doping in the GaAs. The effect is not seen for Mg, Zn, or Cd doping. Similarly, there is no apparent interaction of O with n‐type dopants (S or Si) in our measurements. The Be‐O complex in p‐type GaAs is a deep donor, creating material whose sheet resistivity shows an apparent thermal activation energy of 0.59 eV for a structure involving a thin layer (5000 Å) of oxygen compensated, Be‐doped GaAs on a semi‐insulating substrate.
