β¦ Synopsis
The standard theory of dopant diffusion in semiconductors based on the reactionαdiffusion equations is generalized to include 'many body effects' due to the presence of a very high concentration of immobile dopants. This new formulation makes it possible to calculate the concentration profiles of donorsracceptors, clusters, and precipitates, if any, both in silicon and semiconducting compounds in good agreement with the experiment. Moreover, it is possible to calculate the effective diffusion coefficient within the steady-state approximation. This approach has been used to calculate the explicit form of the effective diffusion coefficient in predoped semiconductors. Furthermore, simple analytical formulae are given for, respectively, dopant in-diffusion profiles and the maximum penetration depth.

## Abstract In this paper, a model of the propagation delays in the interconnection lines on GaAsβbased very highβspeed integrated circuits is presented. The model includes the very highβfrequency effects, such as geometric dispersion, substrate losses, and conductor losses. The model is used to si
