摘要：
In this Letter we investigate boron diffusion as a function of the Fermi-level position in crystalline icon using nb initio calculations. Based on our results, a new mechanism for B diffusion mediated by Si self-interstitials is proposed. Rather than kick out of B into a mobile channel, we find a direct diffusion mechanism for the boron-interstitial pair for all Fermi-level positions. Our activation energy of 3.5-3.8 eV, migration barrier of 0.4-0.7 eV, and diffusion-length exponent of -0.6 to -0.2 eV are in excellent agreement with experiment.
