Abstract

Photoinduced microwave reflectometry (PIMR) has been used to characterize trapping phenomena for a series of GaAs wafers with Si channel implants and either isovalent B or p-type Be co-implants. Both co-implanted species alter the near-surface photoconductance with the change much more pronounced for the Be co-implant. Above and below band gap optical excitations are used to obtain the photoconductivity induced in the channel and substrate, respectively. A statistical correlation between the two photoconductances is found to be enhanced by a light dose of B in the subchannel region, while a similar implant of Be decouples the two. A hypothesis compatible with the data is presented which incorporates electrically active, unannealed damage. This damage includes, but may not be limited to, gallium vacancies.
