Ion implantation (I/I) is a key technology for preparing semiconductor devices. In the case of GaN, I/I is still under development. The formation of n-type and p-type regions remains a major challenge. In this paper, we will focus on analyzing the effect of structural quality, represented by the threading dislocation density (TDD), on the diffusion of implanted silicon (Si; donor) and magnesium (Mg; acceptor) in GaN. Four (0001) GaN substrates with different TDD, varied from 103 cm-2 to 1010 cm-2 will be used. Substrates with different TDD will be implanted with Si and Mg. The samples will then be annealed at a few temperatures at the same high nitrogen pressure and time. Analysis of the diffusion profiles of the implanted dopants will allow, using the finite element analysis (FEA), to determine D and the activation energies for GaN as a function of TDD.
