In a defect-free, single-crystal of silicon, dopant impurities diffuse into the perfect lattice structure by interacting with point defects, such as silicon vacancies and interstitials. In addition to the point defects in which exist in equilibrium with the crystal lattice, the point-defect concentration can also be influenced externally (eg, by injecting interstitials into the silicon lattice as the surface of the crystal is oxidized). These additional interstitials can significantly enhance the impurity diffusion rate in perfect crystals of silicon.
