Abstract:
A selected source concentration of POCl3 is passed over a plurality of wafers in a furnace in a turbulent flow by positioning baffles between the source of the concentration and the wafers and a baffle on the side of the wafers remote from the source. This turbulent flow produces substantial uniformity of the phosphorous concentration in each of the wafers. By selecting the source concentration of POCl3 in accordance with the flow rate, a substantially straight junction is formed in each of the wafers by the diffusion of the phosphorous into the wafers.
