|style="background:LightGrey; color:black"|
*Drive-in of boron
*Thermal oxidation of Si wafers
*Oxidation of silicon
*Boron pre-deposition/doping of Si wafers
*Oxidation of boron phase layers
*Oxidation of boron phase layers  
*Annealing of the oxide
*Driving-in pre-deposited or ion-implanted boron
*Boron pre-depostion using source wafer

Annealing:
Thermal oxidation:
*Using N<sub>2</sub>
Oxidation:
*Dry oxidation using O<sub>2</sub>
*Dry oxidation using O<sub>2</sub>
*Wet oxidation using H<sub>2</sub>O generated by a torch
*Wet oxidation using H<sub>2</sub>O vapour generated by a torch
Boron pre-deposition/doping:
*Boron-nitride wafers are used as doping source. This is a solid doping source containing B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 
Driving-in pre-deposited or ion-implanted boron
*Dry or wet oxidation recipes are normally used for this purpose

*Dry oxide: 50 Å  to ~2000 Å (it takes too long to grow a thicker oxide)
*Dry oxide: ~ 0 nm - 300 nm (it takes too long to grow a thicker oxide)
*Wet oxide: 50 Å to ~3 µm (it takes too long to grow a thicker oxide)
*Wet oxide: ~ 0 nm to 3 µm (23 hours wet oxidation at 1100 <sup>o</sup>C)
