Abstract

Pulse diffusion has been used for doping GaAs n-type to over 1019 cm−3. Surface arsenic loss is avoided through using As2Se3 as the diffusion source. A reduction in electrical activity similar to that reported for pulse annealed implanted layers occurs with any subsequent heat treatment. A resistive region, found at the surface of the profile, can be circumvented through additionally heating the GaAs thermally during the pulse diffusion and reducing the rapidity of the quench.
