Tb. Xu et al., RBS STUDIES OF THE LATTICE DAMAGE CAUSED BY 1 MEV SI+ IMPLANTATION INTO AL0.3GA0.7AS GAAS SUPERLATTICES AT ELEVATED-TEMPERATURE/, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 90(1-4), 1994, pp. 392-395
The lattice damage accumulation in GaAs and Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs superlat
tices by 1 MeV Si+ irradiation at room temperature and 350-degrees-C h
as been studied. For irradiations at 350-degrees-C, at lower doses the
samples were almost defect-free after irradiation, while a large dens
ity of accumulated defects was induced at a higher dose. The critical
dose above which the damage accumulation is more efficient is estimate
d to be 2 x 10(15) Si/cm2 for GaAs, and is 5 x 10(15) Si/cm2 for Al0.8
Ga0.7As/GaAs superlattice for implantation with 1.0 MeV Si ions at 350
-degrees-C. The damage accumulation rate for 1 MeV Si ion implantation
in Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs superlattice is less than that in GaAs.
