In this communication, we present Ar+ implant isolation results of InG
aAs/InAlAs/InP layers for high electron mobility transistor fabricatio
n. Ar+ implantations were performed at 100 keV at room temperature wit
h doses ranging from 5 X 10(12) to 10(15) at./cm(2). A sheet resistanc
e of about 30 M Omega was measured after 10 hours annealing at 300 deg
rees C. Using deep Auger analysis,we show that this high resistivity i
s due to the intermixing of InGaAs and InAlAs layers. (C) 1997 America
