Abstract
Channeling and transmission electron microscopy have been used to investigate the parameters that govern the crystal quality following capless funace annealing at low temperature (∼ 400 °C) in ion-implanted GaAs. From the results obtained, we concluded that the crystal quality after annealing depends strongly on the thickness of the amorphous layer generated by ion implantation and the number of residual defects increases linearly with the thickness of the implanted layer. Single-crystal regrowth free of defects detectable by megaelectron volt He+ channeling was achieved for a very thin amorphous layer (≲ 400 Å).
