Abstract
The Zn and Be doped (1 to 2×1018 cm-3) p-InP samples are first hydrogenated by exposing to a deuterium (D) plasma to passivate (or neutralize) acceptors through dopant-H interactions. Later on, subsequent to 10 min isochronal anneals up to 450 °C, the reactivation of holes is monitored to determine activation energies, approximately 0.7 eV for Zn and 1.08 eV for Be. These values clearly imply a good thermal stability of acceptor passivation and open a way for the implementation of hydrogenation in the photon device technology.
