Abstract
Beryllium (Be) diffusion after rapid thermal annealing experiments is studi ed in heavily doped GaAs structures grown by MBE. SIMS measurements show th at in p/p(+) structures, Be diffusion is reduced by increasing the As-4/Ga flux ratios. In contrast, no effect is observed in p/p(+)/p structures. Fur thermore, Be concentration profiles measured after annealing experiments pe rformed at 770 and 850 degreesC for 30 s indicate that Be redistribution is almost independent of the annealing temperature. These results are discuss ed in terms of a substitutional interstitial diffusion mechanism. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. AII lights reserved.
