This paper presents the results obtained from a comparative study of ion implanted Gallium (Ga) into (100), n type Silicon. A comparison is made between long time (≥ 30 mins) furnace annealed and Rapid Thermally Processed (RTP), 100keV implants of 1 and 3×10l5/cm2 doses of Ga. The results show that for RTP an extremely high substitutional concentration of Gallium, in excess of 3×1020/cm3 can be obtained with approximately 100% electrical activation, resulting in highly conductive very shallow p type layers.
