Abstract
AbstractThe diffusion of Cu, Ag and Au has been measured in implanted, amorphous Si, over the range 150–600° C. The diffusion coefficients are characterized by Arrhenius relationships with activation energies for Cu, Ag and Au of 1.25, 1.6 and 1.4 eV respectively. The solubility of Au in amorphous Si was measured to be 6 orders of magnitude greater than crystalline Si at a temperature of 515°C. The Cu, Ag and Au are segregated ahead of the moving amorphous-crystalline interface. The presence of Au can increase the velocity of the interface.
