Abstract
We have achieved a large increase of the activation efficiency of sulfur atoms implanted into GaNxAs1-x thin films. For thin films with only 0.8% N content, we find a maximum free electron concentration of >6×1018cm-3 for implanted S concentration higher than 1019cm-3, about 20 times larger than that in semi-insulating GaAs implanted and annealed under the same conditions. This large increase of the free electron concentration can be quantitatively explained with the recently developed band anticrossing model. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
