Self-interstitial and vacancy contributions to silicon self-diffusion determined from the diffusion of gold in silicon
Abstract
We present an analysis of gold diffusion profiles in silicon taking into account that both self-interstitials and vacancies are present at thermal equilibrium. We find that at 1000°C the contribution of self-interstitials to silicon self-diffusion is about equal to that of vacancies.
