Description

Compensation arising from ion damage has been investigated in InP. It is found that approximately-greater-than10 times the irradiation that produces resistive layers in GaAs is required to similarly compensate InP. The damage anneals in two stages indicating that two distinct defects contribute to the carrier removal process. Partial annealing at approx.400 degreeC rather than at 500 degreeC as in GaAs is suggested as a means of producing low-absorption highly resistive layers. From compensation considerations annealing to at least 550 degreeC will be required for dopant implantations if effective electrical utilization is to be achieved
