SPECIFICATION FOR ION IMPLANTATION AND ACTIVATION
PROCESS FOR SEMI-INSULATING GALLIUM ARSENIDE SINGLE
CRYSTALS
1 Scope
The purpose of this document is to present a process for
ion implantation, activation, and measurement of the
resulting layers so that meaningful comparisons can be
made between various lots of semi-insulating GaAs.
This test will be performed by the supplier so that
product may be represented in a standard way.
NOTE: This is intended to be an interim procedure for
use until a standard test method is developed by ASTM.
2 Process
2.1 Candidate lots must pass SEMI GaAs
specifications for resistivity, mobility, and thermal
stability using standard ASTM referee techniques.
2.2 Implantation Process
2.2.1 Surface Preparation — The surface treatment
shall be designed to remove residual oxide.
2.2.2 Implant Angle Energy Species and Dose — An
energy of 150 keV using Si
29
to a dose of 2 × l0
12
/cm
2
and a tilt of 11° to 13° from the (100) toward the (110).
2.3 Activation Process
2.3.1 Surface Preparation — No chemical treatment
should be performed prior to activation.
2.3.2 Activation — The samples shall be subjected to a
temperature of 850°C for 10 minutes with a second
proximity wafer directly in contact with the implanted
surface. The proximity wafer shall be identical to the
subject wafer except not subjected to ion implantation.
The ambient of the furnace shall be a gas such as
nitrogen or argon.
2.4 Layer Evaluation
2.4.1 Evaluation of the activated samples shall be
based upon CV profiling, mobility, and resistivity as
specified according to standard ASTM techniques.

POLISHED WAFER DEFECT LIMITS TABLE FOR SEMI-INSULATING
GALLIUM ARSENIDE WAFERS
NOTE: This entire document was revised in 1998.
1 Purpose
1.1 This document defines the ma ximum number of defects, by type, that an acceptable polished Semi-Insulating
Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) wafer may exhibit.
2 Scope
2.1 This document, established sep arately from SEMI M15, in accordance with the latest requirements for the
material in advanced applications, covers polished semi-insulating GaAs wafers. The defect limits table can also be
applied to conducting GaAs wafers, except for the specification of Light Point Defects (LPD) mentioned hereinafter.
“Polished” shall refer to those wafers which have a specular chemical or chemical/mechanical finish applied to one
side of the wafer, with the backside being as cut and etched, lapped and etched, ground and etched, or polished. The
definition of defects is covered in ASTM Practices F 523 and F 154.

NOTES:
1. These defect limits are meant to apply only to those characteristics which can be seen with the unaided eye under high-intensity illumination
according to ASTM Practice F 523. Limits for other defects listed and defined in this section which require the aid of a microscope, preferential
etching, or other apparatus must be agreed upon between supplier and user.
2. Peripheral Edge Allowance — The outer edge exclusion for observation shall be determined from the following tabe:
Diameter Outer Edge Exclusion for Observation
2 inch 2 mm
3 inch 3 mm
4 inch 3 mm
3. LPD shall be counted by measuring equipment designed for detecting laser light scatter. Selection of the measuring equipment and the
requirement for the precision are to be agreed upon between supplier and user.
4. Back Surface Stain — An area of undercutting, texturing, or oxidation, common in waxless polished wafers.
5. The depth of allowed saw marks is to be no greater than 5 µm. The measuring method is to be agreed upon between supplier and user.
6. Item #20 — To be agreed upon between supplier and user.
