ABSTRACTThis review examines the annealing behaviour of ion implanted gallium arsenide during furance, laser and e-beam processing.The two annealing regimes, namely solid phase regrowth via furnace or CW laser/e-beam annealing and liquid phase epitaxy produced by pulsed lasers/e-beam, are examined in some detail.Emphasis is placed upon an understanding of the physical processes which are important during the various annealing modes.Comparison with the annealing behaviour of ion implantedelemental semiconductors(notably silicon) is made throughout the review to highlight relevant similarities and differences between compound and elemental semiconductors.The electrical properties of annealed gallium arsenide layers are not treatedin any detail, although particular observations which are relevant to the annealing processes are briefly discussed.

High resolution ion channelling and reflection electron diffraction techniques have been used to examine details of epitaxial regrowth in Ar+-ion-implanted GaAs(100) at furnace anneal temperatures of 400°C or less. In particular, we have investigated the nature and extent of epitaxial regrowth during both isothermal and isochronal annealing for various implant energies and for implant doses above and below the amorphous threshold. Our results indicate the development of a nonplanar growth interface during annealing which may lead, ultimately, to complex near-surface crystallization processes. Consistently with our observations and recent results from other laboratories, we propose a model for the epitaxial regrowth of amorphous GaAs layers based upon non-uniform growth rates along the amorphous-crystalline interface which could arise from local stoichiometry imbalance.

ABSTRACTThis paper provides a brief overview of the application of transient annealing to the removal of ion implantation damage and dopant activation in GaAs. It is shown that both the liquid phase and solid phase annealing processes are more complex in GaAs than those observed in Si. Particular attention is given to observations of damage removal, surface dissociation, dopant redistribution, solubility and the electrical properties of GaAs. The various annealing mechanisms are discussed and areas in need of further investigation are identified.
