The variations of Raman spectra for Si-implanted (100) GaSb with various doses and energies were investigated. Samples implanted at room temperature showed disorder or amorphous layer. In order to heal the damage layer, furnace annealing as well as rapid thermal annealing were used. We got a better structural recovery with increasing the annealing temperature or time, and rapid thermal annealing showed better results in comparison with conventional furnace annealing. The relative intensities of longitudinal optical phonons from Raman spectra by rapid thermal annealing samples were compared with those of unimplanted GaSb. It is found that a better recovery of damage layer is formed comparable to an unimplanted wafer when the annealing temperature is 600 °C for 30 s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
