M. Kumagawa et al., RAPID AND HIGH CONCENTRATED PERMEATION OF GA INTO INSB, Materials science & engineering. B, Solid-state materials for advanced technology, 44(1-3), 1997, pp. 301-303
Ga permeation experiments were performed by putting an In-Ga-Sb soluti
on into contact with InSb substrates under no crystal growth condition
s. The permeation distances were 770, 1270 and 2750 mu m at 380, 430 a
nd 480 degrees C, respectively. They increased with increased holding
temperatures. The apparent diffusion coefficient of Ga ranged from 3 x
10(-7) to 5 - 10(-6) cm(2) s(-1). Rapid permeation occurred when the
substrate came into contact with the solution. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scien
