Abstract

The microscopic approach is used to derive equations for the diffusion of substitutional impurities in silicon, taking account of the impurity-vacancy interaction and the various charge states of free vacancies and E center type complexes. It is shown that the concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient, and the vacancy wind, are field effects alongside the drift proper of a charged impurity in the field, which retards the diffusion, not accelerates it as is usually supposed. The diffusion coefficient in the field is calculated for the case of phosphorus. A monotonically increasing function D(N) is found.
