  • Abstract
    A simple capless annealing technique for post-implantation annealing of a GaAs wafer is described. The technique incorporates a novel boat design and uses InAs as the source of arsenic overpressure. Using this technique, wafers annealed at 850°C show mobilities in the range of 4000 cm2. V-1. S-1with over 85-percent activation for a Si dose of 5 \\times 10^{12} cm-2. Dopant depth profiles with peak donor densities of 2 \\times 10^{17} cm-3and minimal tailing were demonstrated. Electron channeling data show that crystallinity is fully restored during the anneal. 1-µm gate length MESFET\´s processed on n+-n implanted layers exhibited g_{m} \\geq 160 mS/mm and pinchoff voltages in the range of 3 V.
