Abstract

The possibility of annealing low dose implants (≃ 1013cm-2) in GaAs using a cw scanning laser has been investigated. We have observed that above the threshold of laser-induced damage, a gallium oxide (3-Ga2O3) can be grown at laser scan speeds of 0.5mm/sec. The heat transferred to the substrate during the growth of the oxide is utilized to anneal low dose Si implanted layers. As suggested by sheet electrical measurements, close to complete activation of the implanted species is obtained.
