Abstract

Different ions (Ti+, O+, Fe+, Cr+ ) were implanted at mult iple energies into GaN field effect transistor structures (n and p-type). The implantation was found to create deep states with energy levels in the range EC --0.20 to 0.49 eV in n-GaN and at EV +0.44 eV in p-GaN after annealing at 450-650 °C . The sheet resistance of the GaN was at a maximum after annealing at these temperatures, reaching values of ~4x1012Omega/square in n-GaN and ~1010Omega/square in p-GaN. The mechanism for the implant isolation was damage-related trap formation for all of the ions investigated, and there was no evidence of chemically induced isolation.
