Abstract
We consider the diffusion of an impurity through a semiconductor by an interstitialcy mechanism. The model is initially formulated as a syst em of differential-difference equations which account for the discrete nature of the crystal lattice. The corresponding continuum limit is d erived and some numerical and asymptotic results are presented.
