This paper is devoted to analyze a case of singularity formation in infinite time for a semilinear heat equation involving linear diffusion and superlinear convection. A feature to be noted is that blow-up happens not for the main unknown but for its derivative. The singularity builds up at the boundary. The formation of inner and outer regions is examined, as well as the matching between them. As a consequence, we obtain the precise exponential rates of blow-up in infinite time.
