Doping your wafer

This page is about doping your wafer or making a thin film layer doped with boron, phosphor or Germane.

• Dope with Phosphorus - Doping Silicon wafers with phosphorus by thermal predeposition and drive-in
• Dope with Boron - Doping Silicon wafers with boron by thermal predeposition and drive-in
• Furnace LPCVD PolySilicon - Deposition of PolySi doped with B or P
• PECVD - Making boron glass (BSG), phosphorus glass (PSG), boron-phosphorus glass PBSG or germanium doped glass
• Ion implantation

¹ In most cases you need a high temperature step to drive in and redistribute the dopants in the material. This is typically done at 800°C - 1100°C in either high temperature annealing furnaces or by rapid thermal annealing.

Ion implantation

Ion implantation cannot be done at Danchip. IBS offers ion-beam implantation as a service. See more at the homepage of IBS: http://www.ion-beam-services.com/about_us.htm
