Abstract
The sequential implantation of Mg and N ions into GaN was investigated using conventional rapid thermal annealing and ultra-high-pressure annealing (UHPA). In cathodoluminescence, the green luminescence related to nitrogen vacancies (VNs) was mostly suppressed at the Mg/N ratio of 0.5–1.0, whereas the donor–acceptor pair (DAP) emission as a signature of Mg acceptors was maintained high. The excess N implantation reduced the DAP emission through the formation of nonradiative recombination centers. The combined process of optimal Mg/N implantation and UHPA at 1673 K improved ohmic contacts by increasing Mg concentration and suppressing VNs near the surface.
