Re: Boron diffusion and activation

Tough question; no simple answers here, nor short answers.

Best place to start:

P.M. Fahey, P.B. Griffin and J.D. Plummer, "Point Defects and Dopant
Diffusion in Silicon," Rev. Modern Phys., 61(2), p. 289, 1989.

However, a great deal has been published in the intervening years, esp.
on the RTP side of things.  You should get a library to find out the
papers which reference this work.  Also, check on the web for reference
lists, such as:

http://www.tec.ufl.edu/~flooxs/rel00/floops/references.html

Note that the grain structure in polysilicon takes an already-complex
problem, and renders it almost impossible, although there is certainly a
great deal which has been published on dopant diffusion and activiation
in polySi.

Good luck.
