The solid state diffusion characteristics in the Cu(Al) solid solution phase, was investigated in the temperature range of 1023–1223 K using single phase bulk diffusion couples between pure Cu/Cu- 10 at.% Al. The interdiffusion coefficients, D, were calculated using Boltzmann–Matano method and Hall’s method from the concentration profiles of the couples that were determined using EPMA. The interdiffusion coefficients (D) calculated ranges between 1.39 X 10−14 and 3.97 X 10−13 m2/s in the temperature range of 1023 to 1223 K. The composition and temperature dependence of D were established. The activation energy for interdiffusion varies from 123.1 to 134.2 kJ/mol in the concentration range 1 at. % ≤ CAl ≤ 9 at. %. The impurity diffusion coefficient of Al in Cu is determined by extrapolating the interdiffusion coeffficient values to infinite dilution of the alloy i.e CAl →0 and its temperature dependence was also established. The activation energy for impurity diffusion of Al in Cu was found to be 137.1 kJ/mol.

Diffusion measurements have been made for 114In in Ga between 20° and 455 °C, and for 72Ga in In between the m.p. and 380 °C. Linear plots of D vs T describe the results about equally well as Arrhenius representations. The Arrhenius parameters are D0 = 2.1 · 10-4 cm2/S, Q = 1.64 kcal/mol for In in Ga, D0 = 2.4 · 10-4 cm2/S, Q = 1.93 kcal/mol for Ga in In. Ga diffuses faster than In in both matrices. The effective activation energy of Ga is much higher than that of In in the lighter solvent, but the opposite is the case in In. Simple electrostatic screening arguments cannot be applied to the latter results. A recent model, predicting a nearly linear temperature dependence of D, appears somewhat better applicable.

ABSTRACTTwo n+-i-p 6H-SiC diode families with P+ ion implanted emitter have been processed with all identical steps except the post implantation annealing: 1300°C/20min without C-cap has been compared with 1950°C/10min with C-cap. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the reverse current at low voltage (-100V) in the temperature range 27-290°C shows the dominance of a periphery current which is due to generation centers with number and activation energy dependent on the post implantation annealing process. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the forward current shows two ideality factor n region, one with n = 1.9/2 at low voltage and the other one with 1 < n < 2 without passing through 1 for increasing voltages. For both the diode families the current with n = 1.9/2 is a periphery current due to recombination centers with a thermal activation energy near the 6H-SiC mid gap. In the forward current region of 1 < n < 2, the two diode families show different ideality factor values which could be attributed to a different post implantation annealing defect activation.
