Abstract

In this article it is shown that the reactions between dopants and point defects in silicon are slow enough to play a significant role for low temperature transient enhanced diffusion (TED). As a consequence, diffusion models based on the assumption of local equilibrium between dopants and dopant-defect pairs highly overestimate TED at temperatures below 800°C. Without this assumption, i.e. when full dynamic pairing of dopants is included in simulations, good agreement to experimental results is achieved.
