Nitrogen ion beam synthesis of InN in InP (100) at elevated temperature
arXiv:0708.2221 · doi:10.1063/1.2186101
Abstract
InN phase is grown in crystalline InP(100) substrates by 50 keV N+ implantation at an elevated temperature of 400 deg C followed by annealing at 525 deg C in N2 ambient. Crystallographic structural and Raman scattering studies are performed for the characterization of grown phases. Temperature- and power-dependent photoluminescence studies show direct band-to-band transition peak ~1.06 eV at temperatures <=150K. Implantations at an elevated temperature with a low ion beam current and subsequent low temperature annealing step are found responsible for the growth of high-quality InN phase.
