Abstract

The diffusion transport of metal impurities in semiconductors is considered. Critical magnitude of dislocation density and critical sample size are obtained at which the diffusion kinetics change from the interstitial impurity regime of diffusion transport to the self-interstitial regime or the vacancy regime. It is predicted that the critical density of dislocations decreases with increasing temperature.
