High resolution x-ray diffraction and optical transmission measurements were performed on neon-implanted metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition-grown GaN thin films, successively annealed at 800 and 1000 °C, to study the effect of implantation. Several subsidiary peaks on lower angle side of the main GaN peak were observed in high resolution x-ray diffraction pattern recorded after implantation. The peaks are ascribed to the expansion of the lattice in the implanted part of the samples. Optical transmission measurements revealed a consistent increase in band tailing and redshift in optical band gap of the implanted samples with increasing dose. The band tailing is proposed to be due to expansion of the lattice caused by the production of point defects in the implanted samples. A correlation between optical and structural properties of the implanted samples was studied using results obtained from dose-dependent variation in interplanar lattice spacing, optical band gap, and Urbach energy measurements.
