Post-implantation damage in GaAs1-xPx monocrystalline layers (x = 0, 0.15, 0.39, 0.65 and 1) implanted with 100 keV P+ ions and 150 keV As+ ions in the dose range 2x1013 - 12x1013 cm-2 and 1x1013 - 5x1013 cm-2, respectively at 120 and 300 K was investigated using RBS-c 1.7 MeV 4He+ technique. The critical damage dose (CDD) and the critical energy density (CED) versus the compound composition x were determined. It has been shown that GaAs1-xPx is more sensitive to amorphization for P+ ion implantation at both temperatures than GaAs and that the amorphization depends on the P atoms content in the compound.
