Diffusion of implanted beryllium in gallium arsenide as a function of anneal temperature and dose

Abstract
The diffusion of implanted Be in GaAs was studied by annealing samples of GaAs implanted with low and high doses of Be. The high‐dose (1×1014 cm2) samples show an increase in diffusion with increasing anneal temperature from 700 to 900 °C. However, the low‐dose (2×1013 cm2) samples show a decrease in diffusion as the temperature is increased. The temperature dependence of the low‐dose case can be reversed by coimplantation of 1×1014 cm2 boron. This behavior is explained in terms of the substitutional‐interstitial diffusion mechanism and the relative concentrations of Be interstitials and Be substitutionals for the different cases.
