Abstract
Photoluminescence excitation correlation spectroscopy has been used to measure the dependence of carrier lifetime on the H+ ion implantation dose in GaAs. For doses greater than 1×10^12 cm^−2 the carrier lifetime is inversely proportional to the ion dose. The minimum lifetime measured was 0.6±0.2 ps for a dose of 1×10^14 cm^−2. Most important, there is no sign of saturation of carrier lifetime with ion dose down to this lifetime, thus still shorter lifetimes should be achievable with increased ion dose.
