Abstract
Silicon diffusion into GaAs from a sputtered film in a closed ampoule is described. Excess arsenic pressure is required in the ampoule for a successful diffusion. The relationship between junction depth and the diffusion coefficient has been theoretically derived and the activation energy of the Si-Si pair diffusion coefficient has been obtained from that relation.
