Abstract
The low temperature recrystallization behaviour of completely amorphiz ed InP layers is investigated by means of RBS channeling and TEM measu rements in the temperature region 150 to 400-degrees-C as a function o f the annealing time. The resulting layers consist of a well annealed and a defective near surface layer containing a high density of microt wins. The thickness of the well annealed region increases with the ann ealing time and reaches a saturation value which depends on the temper ature and is independent of the thickness of the initial amorphous lay er. With increasing temperature the time to reach the saturation value decreases.
