Abstract
Impurity diffusion in the delta layer during the process of its growth has been considered. Experiments show that the spreading of the impurity profil e has a complex dependence on the in-plane impurity concentration. We carri ed out the numerical simulation of the self-consistent diffusion problem fo r the impurities moving in their own random electric field and have shown t hat at some critical impurity concentration in delta layer the impurity dis tribution function perpendicular to the layer acquires a non-Gaussian chara cter.
