By using the spreading resistance technique to determine impurity concentration profiles, an investigation was made of diffusion into (111) samples from doped epitaxial source layers which were deposited in flowing H2. It was found that the acceptor exhibited a significantly lower mobility when freed from surface effects. At 1143 to 1393C, the results could be described by:

D (cm2/s) = 3.74 x 10-1 exp[-3.39(eV)/kT]
