*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 | |||
