Depth profiles of 300-keV protons implanted in n-type GaAs at room temperature have been obtained using secondary ion mass spectrometry and correlated with optical effects determined by infrared reflectance measurements. The profiles of the implanted hydrogen (1H) have been measured as a function of annealing for temperatures up to 600 °C. These profiles display a major redistribution of the hydrogen atoms with movement beginning at 200 °C and terminating by 700 °C. The hydrogen diffusion into the substrate can be approximated by an Arrhenius process with an activation energy of 0.62 eV and a diffusion constant of 1.54×10−5 cm2/s. The reflectance spectra indicate that while an optically uniform layer is present in the as-implanted specimen, more complicated optical profiles exist in the annealed samples. Annealing at 300 °C causes the layer to nearly double in thickness but higher temperature annealing produces optical profiles similar to the as-implanted state. Qualitatively, these optical changes follow the behavior of the hydrogen depth profiles.
We have demonstrated the performance of a fiber -optic intensity sensor for temperature measurement. The method measures the change in absorption with the temperature of light reflected from a thin silicon film deposited on the end of an optical fiber. Our single -ended sensing approach requires that the incident light intensity be reflected from both film surfaces and that these reflected signals re -enter the fiber. Simplifications in sensor fabrication have been shown to yield sensitivity comparable to that reported by other authors. Calibration data on the sensor is presented up to 400°C. Potential applications of the method are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
