Abstract

826,559. PN junction devices. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. July 1, 1958, No. 4520/55. Drawings to Specification. Class 37. A method of making a PN junction device comprises diffusing a material consisting of 90 to 99% by weight indium and the remainder arsenic or phosphorus or a mixture thereof into a surface region of a P-type semi-conductor body, e.g. of germanium or silicon. In the preferred embodiment a mixture of 90% indium and 10% arsenic is heated in contact with a P-type germanium body at 600‹ C. The mixture may be applied to the body in solid or liquid form or may be deposited by an evaporation process. As a further alternative the body may be exposed to the vapour of the mixture. The region into which the material diffuses becomes N-type because of the high diffusion rate and solid solubility of the arsenic or phosphorus, the purpose of the indium being to give improved mechanical and hence also electrical properties to the device. Specification 728,129 has been referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 801,713.
