Abstract

The solution to the finite electromigration boundary value problem has been obtained for the case of a blocking boundary downstream and a constant vacancy concentration upstream. The results are similar to the solution to the semi-infinite problem [1] except in the vicinity of the steady state. Consequences of achieving a “sub-threshold” steady state profile are discussed.
