Experimental evidence for the transient enhanced diffusion of B in ion-implanted samples was presented. The implanted B diffused several μm into the samples when they were annealed at 1600 and 1700C for 600s, but the in-diffused tails remained unaffected when the annealing time was increased to 0.5h at the same temperatures. The lower limit on the effective B diffusivity at 1600C was estimated to be 7 x 10-12cm2/s (table 70). This value was 160 times higher than published equilibrium B diffusivities.
