Av. Kamanin et al., PECULIARITIES OF THE INITIAL-STAGE OF ZN DIFFUSION INTO INP FROM POLYMER SPIN-ON FILMS, Solid-state electronics, 39(10), 1996, pp. 1441-1444
The initial stage of Zn diffusion into InP from polymer spin-on films
has been investigated. A high concentration of microdefects and extend
ed defects in the near-surface region (depth up to 1 mu m), anomalousl
y deep penetration of Zn atoms with a diffusivity nearly independent o
f temperature and a low activation degree of diffused Zn have been fou
nd. A kick-out mechanism is thought to be dominant at the initial stag
