A variety of different possible donor and acceptor impurities have been implanted into GaN and annealed up to 1450thinsp{degree}C. S{sup +} and Te{sup +} produce peak electron concentrations {le}5{times}10{sup 18} cm{sup {minus}3}, well below that achievable with Si{sup +}. Mg produces {ital p}-type conductivity, but Be{sup +}- and C{sup +}- implanted samples remained {ital n} type. No redistribution was observed for any of the implanted species for 1450thinsp{degree}C annealing. Much more effective damage removal was achieved for 1400thinsp{degree}C annealing of high-dose (5{times}10{sup 15} cm{sup {minus}2}) Si{sup +} implanted GaN, compared to the more commonly used 1100thinsp{degree}C annealing. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Vacuum Society.}
