Multiple-energy (30{endash}325 keV) O{sup +} implantation into GaN field-effect transistor structures (n{approximately}10{sup 18} cm{sup {minus}3}, 3000 {Angstrom} thick) can produce as-implanted sheet resistances of 4{times}10{sup 12}&hthinsp;{Omega}/{open_square}, provided care is taken to ensure compensation of the region up to the projected range of the lowest energy implant. The sheet resistance remains above 10{sup 7}&hthinsp;{Omega}/{open_square} to annealing temperatures of {approximately}650&hthinsp;{degree}C and displays an activation energy of 0.29 eV. No diffusion of the implanted oxygen was observed for anneals up to 800&hthinsp;{degree}C. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Vacuum Society.}
