Abstract
Be ion implantation and annealing conditions were optimized to demonstrate an effective method for selective area p-type doping in InAs. Optimized implantation and annealing conditions were subsequently utilized to produce planar InAs diodes. The Be implanted planar diodes had a superior dynamic resistance-area product and comparable dark current with n-i-p InAs mesa diodes when operated at low temperatures.
Highlights
I nAs is considered a key III–V semiconductor in the fields of high speed and optoelectronics due to its high electron mobility and large band offset at the InAs/AlSb heterojunction
The majority of reported InAs devices are mesa structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) or metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE)
Complications associated with the diffusion techniques make it desirable to explore other doping methods; for example, when diffusing Zn into InAs, the high temperature environment necessitates an As overpressure to be maintained in the chamber to prevent the dissociation of As from the InAs
