Abstract

We have studied the optical properties of nitrogen implanted GaAs and AlGaAs samples. The fundamental band-gap energy has been found to decrease with the increasing N+ implantation dose in a manner similar to that commonly observed in GaNAs and GaInNAs alloys grown by molecular beam epitaxy or metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Our results indicate that GaNxAs1−x and AlxGa1−xNyAs1−y alloys can be formed by implantation of nitrogen followed by appropriate postimplantation annealing treatments. As inferred from the magnitude of the band gap shift, the percentage of the implanted N atoms incorporated on the substitutional As sites is estimated to be around 12%.
