  • Abstract
    p-n junction diodes have been defined in epitaxially grown InP layers with3He+ bombardment. The3He+ ions have been used to convert the exposed portions of the p-layers into semi-insulating regions (p = 109Ω.cm). I-V characteristics with good rectification and reverse currents of ≅ 200 nA at -2 V have been obtained. This simple self-aligned and planar isolation technology based on bombardment with3He+ offers significant advantages over protons in the fabrication of InP-based devices.
