This paper reports the variation of carrier concentration depth profile in Si-implanted channel conductive layers of liquid- encapsulated-Czochralski- technique (LEC) grown GaAs crystals, the Vth scattering amplitude variation and the averaged Vth variation before and after phospho-silicate-glass (PSG) cap annealing of high-dose-Si-ion implanted crystal layers. Furthermore, the PSG-cap-annealing Vth variation difference between the As-rich LEC crystal and the near-stoichiometric LEC crystal is presented. These results, and carrier depth profile of Si-implanted active layers in LEC GaAs crystals through model of implanted Si atom move (like diffusion) and Si atom capture of a crystal lattice and siteing on lattice are discussed.
