Abstract

Raman scattering is used to study the annealing behavior produced by 10 nsec, 565 nm dye laser pulses in high dose ion-implanted GaAs. Samples were prepared with Sn and Cd implantations of 2, 5, and 10 x 1015 cm2. The Raman spectra indicate that the threshold for epitaxial growth lies between 0.2 - 0.3 J cm2. Best carrier activation (∼ 2%), however, is achieved at ∼1.6 J cm2 for the Sn-implanted sample (n-type). For Cd implantation the electrical activation appears to be very high ({greater-than or approximate} 50%) for low pulse energies({less-than or approximate} 0.3 J cm2) but decreases for higher pulse energies. © 1985.
