TEM Study of GaAs Implanted by High Dose Nitrogen Ions

Nitrogen ions were implanted into (100)GaAs at high temperature (400 and 600oC) and high dose (2x10^17 and 6x10^17 ions cm-2) in order to synthesize small GaN crystallites. The defective strip due to implantation is about 500 nm thick and stacking faults appeared as the characteristic defect. Selected area diffraction patterns show that cubic GaN was formed in samples implanted at 600oC. The precipitates formed are typically 5 nm large and are epitaxial to the host GaAs. Some larger precipitates are also observed from which the matching of the two lattices could be determined.
