injection. Interstitial-, vacancy-and noninjection conditions were achieved by annealing Si
capping layers which were either bare, with Si 3 N 4 film or with Si 3 N 4+ SiO 2 bilayers,
respectively. Concentration profiles of B, Ge, and C were obtained using secondary-ion-
mass spectrometry and diffusion coefficients of B in each type of matrix were extracted by
computer simulation. Under inert annealing, we find that C strongly suppresses B diffusion in …
