Density functional theory studies have been performed to investigate the mechanisms of self-diffusion in Ge and the clustering of B in Si. In the case of self-diffusion of Ge, we find within the harmonic transition state theory a diffusion prefactor for the vacancy mechanism which is in good agreeme

Abstract
The paper deals with the analysis of pair diffusion models in semiconductor technology. The underlying model contains reactionโdriftโdiffusion equations for the mobile point defects and dopantโdefect pairs as well as reaction equations for immobile dopants which are coupled with a nonโlinear Poisson equation for the chemical potential of the electrons. For homogeneous structures we present an existence and uniqueness result for strong solutions. Starting with energy estimates we derive further a priori estimates such that fixed point arguments due to LerayโSchauder guarantee the solvability of the model equations.

## Abstract Preconditioning strategies based on incomplete LU factorization using thresholding with dual dropping (ILUT) are investigated for iterative solution of sparse linear systems arising in semiconductor dopant diffusion modelling. Of particular interest are questions associated with selecti
In this work, we present results on simultaneous formation of emitterlbacksurface field or emitterlsurface passivation in a single rapid thermal cycle. We have investigated the diyusion kinetics of dopant elements like phosphorus, boron (from a doped spin-on glass (SOD) film), aluminium (from evapor
The integral relaxation time of dopant diffusion in a semiconductor has been analytically derived for the case of weakly space and time varying diffusion coefficient. It has been shown that the well-known integral criterion for the relaxation time is an optimal estimate of the relaxation time. The c
