Formation of High Resistance Region in GaAs by Ga Focused-Ion-Beam Implantation

Abstract
It was experimentally confirmed for the first time that Ga focused-ion-beam maskless implantation into n-GaAs is effective to form a submicron high resistance region, even though 850°C annealing was made after Ga implantation. For conductive layers formed by 30 keV, 5×1012 cm-2 Si implantation, a critical Ga ion dose for obtaining the high resistance region was found to be about 3×1013 cm-2. Estimated resistivity in the high resistance region was around 1×104 Ω·cm with breakdown voltage of about 30 V. Residual radiation damage seems to be one of the main factors in the formation of the high resistance region.
