Abstract:
Silicochloroform and hydrogen flow through a heated rod for example of silicon. The inside of the rod wall is of silicon. The precipitation of silicon takes place within the rod wall to form a growing inner tube.
Abstract:
A process for preparing oriented semiconductor monocrystalline rods with a specific resistance which drops towards the center of the rod. The process utilizes rapid non-crucible moving zone melting of a preformed vertically positioned semiconductor rod using an inductive heating device which annularly surrounds the rod.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for indiffusing dopants into a semiconductor material, in high vacuum. The device comprises a heatable ampule which is accommodated in a sealed container and consists of the same semiconductor material and contains wafers of the semiconductor material to be doped. The ampule, at least on its outer surface, has at least a partially polycrystalline surface. The ampule has openings whose area is small in comparison to the cross-section surface of the ampule and that a dopant source is available which is located outside the ampule but within the sealed container.
Abstract:
CONTROLLED PROCESS FOR INTRODUCING FOREIGH SUBSTANCES, E.G. DOPANTS AND RECOMBINATION CENTERS, INTO A MOLTEN SEMICONDUCTOR BODY BY DIRECTING FOREIGN SUBSTANCE IN GASEOUS FORM IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE MELT.
Abstract:
Process of producing a hollow semiconductor body, particularly of silicon, by precipitating through a reaction with a gaseous semiconductor compound on an electrically heated mandrel, the improvement comprising coating the mandrel with soot prior to precipitating the semiconductor material.
Abstract:
Apparatus for indiffusing dopant into a semiconductor material. The apparatus comprises a heatable tube of the same semiconductor material, the wall of which is from 0.5 to 20 mm thick and is gas-tight under reaction conditions. Heating means include an induction coil spaced from the heatable tube and a relatively narrow graphite ring fixed about the tube to accelerate such heating.
Abstract:
IN A METHOD OF ZONE MELTING A SEMICONDUCTOR ROD, THE ROD IS SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICALLY SUPPORTED AT ONE END BY A FIRST END HOLDER LOCATED IN THE SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICAL AXIS OF THE ROD, A SEED CRYSTAL BEING ATTACHED TO THE OTHER END OF THE ROD AND HAVING A FREE END SUPPORTED BY A SECOND END HOLDER, AND A MOLTEN ZONE IS FORMED IN THE ROD BY AN ANNULAR HEATING DEVICE SURROUNDING THE ROD AND DIVIDING IT INTO TWO ROD PORTIONS, THE ANNULAR HEATING DEVICE AND THE ROD BEING MOVED RELATIVE TO ONT ANOTHER IN THE AXIAL DIRECTION OF THE ROD FROM THE SEED CRYSTAL TO THE FIRST END HOLDER SO THAT ONE OF THE PORTIONS OF THE ROD IS SUPPLIED TO THE MELT AND THE OTHER PORTION THEREOF CRYSTALLIZES OUT OF THE MELT. THE IMPROVEMENT IN THE METHOD INCLUDES LATERALLY DISPLACING THE ANNULAR HEATING DEVICE TO A POSITION ECCENTRIC TO THE AXIS OF THE ROD BUT NEVERTHELESS STILL SURROUNDING THE ROD, AND MAINTAINING THE ECCENTRIC RELATIONSHIP OF THE ANNULAR HEATING DEVICE TO THE ROD FOR AT LEAST PART OF THE MOLTEN ZONE PASS ALONG THE ROD.
