Abstract
We present a systematic investigation on the formation of the highly mismatched alloy GaN<sub>x</sub>As<sub>1–x</sub> using N<sup>+</sup>-implantation followed by a combination of pulsed laser melting and rapid thermal annealing. Thin films of GaN<sub>x</sub>As<sub>1–x</sub> with x as high as 0.016 and an activation efficiency of the implanted N up to 50% have been synthesized with structural and optical properties comparable to films grown by epitaxial deposition techniques with similar substitutional N content. The effects of N<sup>+</sup> implantation dose, laser energy fluence, and rapid thermal annealing temperature on the N incorporation as well as optical and structural properties of the GaN<sub>x</sub>As<sub>1–x</sub> films are discussed.
