Solid Solubility Limits • There is a limit to the amount of a given impurity that can be “dissolved” in silicon (the Solid Solubility Limit) • At high concentrations, all of the impurities introduced into silicon will not be electrically active EE143 – Ali Javey
Log C(x) High conc. profile: D gets larger when C(x) is large Log C(x) J large Low conc profile: Erfc or gaussian J small x x * C(x) looks “flatter” at high conc. regions High Concentration Diffusion Effects • E-Field Enhanced Diffusion • Charged point defects enhanced diffusion EE143 – Ali Javey
Electric-field Enhancement Example: Acceptor Diffusion Na(x) p(x) Na(x)=Na-(x) hole gradient Hole diffusion tendency E build-in x At thermal equilibrium, hole current =0 Hole gradient creates build-in electric field to counteract the hole diffusion tendency Complete acceptor ionization at diffusion temperature EE143 – Ali Javey
Electric Field Enhancement holes tends to move away due to hole concentration gradient +[p] B- Ebuild-in B- acceptors experience an additional drift force Enhanced Diffusion for B- acceptor atoms EE143 – Ali Javey
