Popis: The dependence of the retained lattice damage upon dose rate was investigated by focused ion beam (FIB) implantation of 210 keV Si++ into GaAs at room temperature. The as‐implanted and postannealed states were characterized by ion channeling and Hall‐effect measurements, respectively. Dose‐rate effects arise from stabilizing interactions between populations of defects produced by different ions, and these experiments were designed to probe the time constants of those interactions. In the context of dose‐rate experiments, direct‐write FIB represents a much more controllable means of implantation over conventional broad beams since the exact timing of dose delivery may be precisely defined and varied. In this work, the final implanted dose was achieved by the successive application of individual flux pulses of constant intensity but of varying duration td and repetition period tr. A consistent trend toward a greater concentration of displaced atoms directly after implantation and a higher sheet resistance a...
