Monocrystalline wafers of n-type material were diffused with Yb from a layer source by annealing at 1220 to 1370K. The resultant concentration profiles were determined by means of neutron activation analysis. It was found that the data could be described by:

D (cm2/s) = 2.8 x 10-5 exp[-0.95(eV)/kT]
