Article: Model of high-temperature diffusion of interstitial silicon atoms in silicon.(Report)

INTRODUCTION

Point defects in silicon (vacancies and interstitials) play important role in electrical activation and diffusion of implanted impurities, in getter formation, in formation of the secondary damages. These defects substantially reduce the parameters of the devices and the device yield. The process of secondary defect formation is controlled by the diffusion of interstitial Si atoms. Nevertheless, during three decades there is not being resolved a problem on the high-temperature diffusion coefficient (D) of Si interstitial atoms in silicon single crystals. In a series of works D was defined to be ~[10.sup.-7] [cm.sup.2] [sec.sup.-1] at 900[degrees]C ...
