The channelling of 3 MeV protons in the ½½¼ direction of silicon has been simulated using Vineyard model taking into account thermally vibrating nuclei and energy loss due to ionelectron interactions. A beam made up of constant energy particles but with spatial divergence has been simulated for the purpose. The values of the minimum scattering yield and half width of the channelling dip are shown to be depth sensitive and agree well with the measured values. The dependence of yield on the angle of incidence has been found to give information of all three types of channelling. The critical angles for the three types of channelling and wavelength of planar oscillations are consistent with the previous calculations.
