Abstract

Two solute trapping models are compared. They are shown to predict identicalbehavior at any given end of a phase diagram but different behavior as thephase diagram is traversed. The segregation behavior of dilute solutions ofGe in Si (ke < 1) and of Si in Ge (ke > 1) during regrowth frompulsed-laser melting is being studied using transient conductance, highresolution RBS, and SIMS. Our results to date suggest a significant amount"of solute trapping (k —> 1) of Ge in Si and of Si in Ge. Such a resultwould be inconsistent with the predictions of one of the models.
