Abstract

A method for making a shallow junction in a gallium arsenide substrate including implanting doping ions into an upper surface of the substrate and incorporating sulfur into the upper surface of the substrate after the ion implantation. A capping layer is deposited on the upper surface and the substrate is heat annealed to activate the doping atoms.
