Abstract :
It is shown that oxygen-implanted GaAs with oxygen concentrations of 1020 cm-3 (or 1019 cm-3 if co-implanted with Al), annealed in the 500-850°C temperature range, can result in highly resistive layers with subpicosecond free-carrier lifetimes. It is suggested that such layers can be used to suppress single event upsets (SEUs) in GaAs digital circuits
