An Empirical Composition Dependent Model of Dopant Diffusion Coefficients in Si, Si1-x Gex and Ge Material Systems

Previously published fast empirical models for diffusion coefficients in silicon-germanium (Si1-x Gex) [1][2] were not applicable to high germanium content x≥0.5 and hence did not properly extend towards germanium. For
