  • Abstract
    An effective inter-device isolation has been obtained by implanting iron into n-type InP. The effect of 1 MeV iron (Fe) implantation into n-type InP at 77 K, room temperature (RT) and 200°C has been investigated with various ion doses in the range of 1 × 1012 to 1 × 1015/cm2. It is found that RT and 77 K implants show better isolation than 200°C implants. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) is used to gain a better understanding of the isolation mechanisms
