ABSTRACTCarbon diffusivity is reported for different ambient conditions imposed during annealing of silicon in the temperature range from 800 to 100°C, which produce varying levels of silicon self-interstitial supersaturation. The diffusivities are deduced from SIMS analysis of carbon out-diffusion profiles. Carbon diffusivity is increased by up to a factor of 70 in annealing with phosphorus in-diffusion, and by a factor of as much as seven in an oxidizing ambient, when compared to anneals in a nitrogen ambient. The enhancements tend to decrease above 11000C. This behavior can be explained by attributing the increase in carbon diffusivity to self-interstitial supersaturation which increases the concentration of highly mobile carbon selfinterstitial pairs. Significant time dependent effects were also observed for 800 and 9000C phosphorus in-diffusion conditions.

The carbon diffusion in steel, where the carbon diffusivity varies with the carbon content, was solved with the integral methods under the third boundary condition. The variation of carbon diffusivity in steel with the carbon content was described with two different functions, linear dependence and exponential dependence. The integral approximation for both cases was improved with the numerical computation to more accurately predict the carbon profiles. The integral solution is more accurate than the formulation based on the assumption of a constant diffusivity or those based on the assumption of a constant diffusivity and/or constant carbon content at part surface. It is also more easily used in practice than the numerical method to describe the carburising process and predict the carbon content at steel surface and carbon profiles in treated layer.
