Diffusion process systems are used in the manufacture of solid state devices for discrete as well as integrated circuit components. The end use of these products ranges from a single transistor in a portable radio to semiconductor memory used in computers. In the manufacture of typical integrated circuits, various elevated temperatures and gaseous atmospheres are required. Diffusion furnaces are operated at temperatures between 1000 to 1300 ° C. Thermal uniformity is critical in order to allow insertion of a large number of wafers into the furnace... Deposition systems, of which there are three(liquid, gaseous, solid), are used to deposit impurities on the silicon wafer. 4, record 3, English, - diffusion%20furnace
