|Deposition of doped thin film (oxides or nitrides). A high temperature step to drive in and redistribute the dopants in the material is required. This is typically done at 800°C - 1150°C in either high temperature annealing furnaces (C1 or C3) or by rapid thermal annealing. The doped glass can afterwards be removed in a BHF etch. | |Deposition of doped thin film (oxides or nitrides).

Contrary the other doping techniques the doping concentration has a peak inside the substrate when introduced by ion-implantation. Ion implantation cannot be done at Nanolab but IBS (Ion Beam Services) offers ion-beam implantation as a service. See more at the homepage of IBS: http://www.ion-beam-services.com/about_us.htm. When wafers return from Ion implantation they need a clean before entering the cleanroom. Activation and redistribution of the dopants is required and is done by a high temperature anneal (600°C-1000°C) in the high temperature furnaces or by rapid thermal anneal. | ||
