The behaviour of copper on gallium arsenide

Copper is reported to diffuse at a high rate in GaAs (2.6 x 10⁻⁵ cm² s⁻¹ at 600°C). Dislocations and grain boundaries are expected to be preferential diffusion paths for copper diffusion at low temperatures. The present investigation was undertaken to establish to what extent preferential diffusion...
