Summary on Grant Application Form
A systematic approach to III-V semiconductor electrical isolation via ion implantation is required by the Surrey Ion Beam Centre. We therefore propose a dedicated project investigating the physics and applications of implant isolation. Defect/dopant interaction will be studied through the correlation of point defect concentration and the electrical properties of implanted material. New methods for the efficient isolation of In-based and narrow band-gap materials will be developed on simple test structures. These methods will be applied and tested on real devices for which the need for a planar isolation process has been highlighted, and for which no process currently exists. The results will be summarised in a predictive PC program developed to provide recipes for isolation of devices varying in composition, doping type/concentration and depth.
