AbstractNon-stoichiometric GaAs layers with semi-insulating properties can be produced by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy or ion implantation. The latter is the subject of the present report wherein the solid-phase epitaxial growth of amorphized, non-stoichiometric GaAs layers has been investigated with time-resolved reflectivity, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. GaAs substrates were implanted with Ga and/or As ions and annealed in air at a temperature of 260°C. The recrystallized material was composed of a thin, crystalline layer bordered by a thick, twinned layer. Non-stoichiometry results in a roughening of the amorphous/crystalline interface and the transformation from planar to non-planar regrowth. The onset of the transformation and the rate thereof can increase with an increase in non-stoichiometry. Non-stoichiometry can be achieved on a macroscopic scale via Ga or As implants or on a microscopic scale via Ga and As implants. The influence of the latter is greatest at low doses whilst the former dominates at high doses.

The influence of implanted impurities (B, O, P, Ar, Xe, Pb, and Bi) on the rate of low-temperature (138 °C), solid-phase epitaxial growth (SPEG) of amorphized CoSi2 has been studied. SPEG rates of impurity-implanted CoSi2, as determined from time-resolved reflectivity measurements, were retarded for all impurities compared to that of Si-implanted CoSi2. The extent of retardation varied from a factor of 1.5 for P to 9.4 for Xe. Channeling measurements of impurity-implanted CoSi2 indicated that Xe and Bi atoms were located on nonsubstitutional lattice sites while ∼40% of Pb atoms occupied either substitutional sites or vacant interstitial cation sites following annealing. The presence of impurities did not affect the CoSi2 post-anneal crystalline quality, and no significant impurity diffusion was apparent at 138 °C from secondary-ion mass spectrometry measurements.
