We have investigated the high-pressure high-temperature annealing of Mg/P-implanted GaN films using visible and ultraviolet (UV) micro-Raman spectroscopy. The results illustrate the use of Raman spectroscopy to monitor processing of GaN where fast feedback is required. The structural quality and the stress in ion-implanted GaN films was monitored in a 40nm-thin surface layer of the sample as well as averaged over the sample layer thickness. We find the nearly full recovery of the crystalline quality of ion-implanted GaN films after annealing at 1400-1500°C under nitrogen overpressures of 1.5GPa. No significant degradation effects occurred in the GaN surface layer during the annealing. The high nitrogen overpressures proved very effective in preventing the nitrogen out-diffusion from the GaN surface. Stress introduced during the annealing was monitored. Raman spectra of ion-implanted GaN films were investigated at different temperatures and excitation wavelengths to study the GaN phonon density of states.
