Dope with boron
The furnace A1 Boron Drive-in and Pre-dep can be used to pre-deposit silicon wafers with boron. The silicon wafers are positioned in a silicon carbide boat just next to wafers of boron nitride. Pre-deposit of boron is a diffusion process on the silicon wafers.
The concentration of boron in the wafer depends on the process temperature. The depth profile depends of the process time.
All this figures have been made at the time where there was a furnace only for Boron Pre-dep (furnace A2). The process was done with the temperature at 1125 oC and a flow of 5 slm N2 and 0.2 slm of O2.
