While co-implantation is well known as a means of dopant control in GaAs, w
e have examined the effect of displacing the two implant profiles with Zn a
s the acceptor and P as the co-implant, We have established that lower resi
stivities, comparable sheet resistances and higher mobilities can be achiev
ed when Zn is implanted into the surface tail of a deep P implant, as compa
red with Zn being implanted to overlap a shallower P implant. (C) 1999 Else
