For the pre-deposition heat treatment of a semiconducting device, gallium atoms are to be diffused into silicon

Question:

For the pre-deposition heat treatment of a semiconducting device, gallium atoms are to be diffused into silicon at a temperature of 1150(C for 2.5 h. If the required concentration of Ga at a position 2 (m below the surface is 8 ( 1023 atoms/m3, compute the required surface concentration of Ga. Assume the following:

(i) The surface concentration remains constant

(ii) The background concentration is 2 ( 1019 Ga atoms/m3

(iii) Pre-exponential and activation energy values are 3.74 ( 10-5m2/s and 3.39 eV/atom, respectively?
