In this article, the authors used a Q-switched ruby laser in the energy range 0.2 to 2.2 J cm-2 to study 200 keV selenium ions implanted into InP.
Abstract
Rutherford back-scattering, Hall effect and Nomarski interference microscopy have been used to study 200 keV selenium ions implanted into InP in the dose range 1*1014 to 1*1015 cm-2. Samples were irradiated with single pulses from a Q-switched ruby laser in the energy range 0.2 to 2.2 J cm-2. It was found that capless laser irradiation does not allow complex recrystallisation of damaged InP, and an energy density of 0.3 J cm-2 causes surface decomposition, thus producing indium-rich surface layers. To ensure that the measured electrical properties were due to the implanted atoms alone it was found necessary to thermally anneal samples at 4000DC for 5 min after the laser irradiation. The activity was 26% and the mobility of 300 cm2 V-1 s-1 for a dose of 1*1015 Se+ cm-2 irradiated at 0.5 J cm-2.

TL;DR: In this article, a rapid annealing procedure for the short-term treatment of implanted ion species is described, which from data obtained on InP is seen to result in high activation efficiencies and mobilities ∼ 85 percent and 2600 cm2/V.s, respectively.

Low loss 4He+ implanted LiNbO3 waveguide produced by transient annealing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used transient thermal annealing to process planar optical waveguides in LiNbO3 using 4He+ implantation and showed that with this short time anneal, the quality of the waveguide improved significantly giving an attenuation of 0.2 dB/cm at 0.633 μm.

InP surface conducting films from electron-pulse annealing

TL;DR: In this paper, the conduction is confined to within ∼500 A of the surface and is annealable thermally ∼400 °C, and the electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering show that electron beam annealing leads to a phosphorus loss at the surface.
