Nickel is increasingly used in both IC and photovoltaic device fabrication, yet it has the potential to create highly recombination-active precipitates in silicon. For nearly three decades, the accepted nickel diffusivity in silicon has been D-Ni(T) = 2.3 x 10(-3) exp(-0.47 eV/k(B)T) cm(2)/s, a surprisingly low value given reports of rapid nickel diffusion in industrial applications. In this paper, we employ modern experimental methods to measure the higher nickel diffusivity D-Ni(T) = (1.6960 +/- 74) x 10(-4) exp (-0.15 +/- 0.04 eV/k(B)T) cm(2)/s. The measured activation energy is close to that predicted by first-principles theory using the nudged-elastic-band method. Our measured diffusivity of nickel is higher than previously published values at temperatures below 1150 degrees C, and orders of magnitude higher when extrapolated to room temperature.
