Abstract

Values of the diffusivity of silicon self-interstitials have been previously inferred from analyses of the in-diffusion of Au in undislocated Si, e.g., 2×10-7 cm2 s-1 at 1100 °C. A more complete analysis by numerical integration of the effective diffusion equation with fewer assumptions yields ahigher minimum value, 6×10-6 cm2s-1 at 1100 °C. Recently published experiments showing no measurable difference in the oxidation-reduced diffusion of Sb in Si at 10 and 40 microns are consistent with this high value.

14. A simple and useful expression for the solution of Eq.(5) for the kickout mechanism alone, i.e., , is where . and c0 is at t = 0 for all x. Its form is taken from Ref.[l] by combining its Eqs.(7,9,10) to give x(C) and “correcting” the result by multiplying by √2. It gives results ±5% of either a fine-gridded numerical integration or the complete analytic solution in Ref.[15], plotted for example, in Fig.(l) of Ref.[2]. The first order approximation used for analysis of Pt in-diffusion in Ref.[12], taken from [15], is x ∼ (C-1 - 1)√(G't), where G' = G/a 2, where |a|exp(a 2) = (2C0√π)-1, which is valid only for C >.4..4.>Google Scholar
