Abstract:
A uniformly and perfectly amorphous GaP is obtained by irradiating a GaP body with N ions of 200 KeV, at a current density of 1 Mu A/cm2, by an amount of 5 X 1015/cm2, thereby forming a disordered state of GaP in the body to a depth of about 0.5 Mu m from its surface, and heating said GaP body at 430*C which is higher than a transition temperature of GaP from the disordered state to the amorphous state and lower than a crystallization temperature of GaP, for 10 minutes within an argon gas.
