TLDR
In this paper, an Arrhenius plot of grain boundary diffusion coefficients gave rise to an activation energy of 2.65 eV and preexponential factor D'0=4.8*10-3 cm2 s-1.
Abstract
Diffusion of radioactive phosphorus in polycrystalline silicon has been studied in the temperature range 566-980 degrees C. Diffusion profiles were obtained by anodic oxidation sectioning coupled with radio tracer detection. Diffusion coefficients in the grain boundary were obtained following Leclaire's method of analysis. An Arrhenius plot of grain boundary diffusion coefficients gave rise to an activation energy of 2.65 eV and pre-exponential factor D'0=4.8*10-3 cm2 s-1.

Phosphorus and boron diffusion paths in polycrystalline silicon gate of a trench-type three-dimensional metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor investigated by atom probe tomography

TL;DR: In this paper, the dopant diffusion path in n-and p-types polycrystalline-Si gates of trench-type three-dimensional (3D) metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) was investigated using atom probe tomography, based on the annealing time dependence of dopant distribution at 900°C.

Understanding the Degradation of a Model Si Anode in a Li-Ion Battery at the Atomic Scale

TL;DR: In this paper , the degradation of the liquid electrolyte and Si electrode and their interface were investigated using the latest developments in cryo-atom probe tomography, and it was shown that Si anode corrosion from the decomposition of the Li salt before charge-discharge cycles even begin.

Rapid Activation of Phosphorous-Implanted Polycrystalline Si Thin Films on Glass Substrates Using Flash-Lamp Annealing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied intense visible light irradiation to polycrystalline Si-thin polysilicon on glass substrates, which exhibited strong absorption features due to their amorphization by the application of a large implantation dose.

Predoping effects of boron and phosphorous on arsenic diffusion along grain boundaries in polycrystalline silicon investigated by atom probe tomography

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of P or B predoping on As diffusion in polycrystalline Si was investigated by atom probe tomography, and the results suggest that As grain-boundary diffusion can be controlled by varying the local concentration of P and B.
