The γ-γ perturbed angular correlation technique is a very powerful tool for the investigation of dopant incorporation and damage recovery after implantation in semiconductors. The basic principles of the technique will be introduced followed by a discussion of its strengths and limitations. Examples of its application will be given, ranging from cavities in silicon, effects of uniaxial stress on acceptor--donor pairs in silicon to damage recovery in nitride semiconductors like GaN.
