Abstract
894,277. Semi-conductor devices. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 16, 1960 [Sept. 19, 1959], No. 31943/60. Class 37. A layer containing aluminium is formed in a body comprising silicon by heating the body in contact with alumina to cause diffusion of aluminium therefrom into the body. The heating may be carried out in hydrogen, inert gas, or vacuum. In an example a number of 1 ohm cm. N-type silicon bodies 5 are embedded in powdered alumina mixed with 1 % by weight of pure powdered silicon in molybdenum container 4 in a quartz tube 1. The silicon bodies are then raised to 1200‹ C. for an hour by high-frequency heating of the molybdenum tube 2 while a stream of dry hydrogen flows through the tube. The powdered silicon counteracts evaporation of the surface of the silicon bodies. After cooling, the bodies, which now have a P-type surface layer 6, 12 to 15 Á thick, may be fabricated into transistors, diodes, or photo-electric cells. In an alternative method one of the slower diffusing donor impurities antimony, arsenic and phosphorus in the form of oxide is added to the alumina. Simultaneous diffusion of the aluminium and donor in this case produce a P- layer overlain by an N-layer.
