EQUIPMENT

  • Diffusion tubes (horizontal) using
    • O2/N2
    • Dopants
      • Gaseous: AsH3, PH3, BH3
        • Doping concentration controlled by ratio of partial pressures
      • Liquid source
        • Doping concentration in case of liquid dopants controlled by:
          • temperature of the bath
          • pressure of the gas above the liquid
          • flow ratio (bubbler/reactor)
      • Solid source
        • A doped material is deposited on a substrate, when exposed at high temperature the dopans will diffuse in the substrate
  • Difficult to control shallow junction, small features
    • Ion implantation is usead instead
