English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
DEF

A furnace used to make junctions in semiconductors by diffusing dopant atoms into the surface of the material.

CONT

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.

The connecting wires... are sometimes necessary to extend the circuit between the leg wires and the permanent firing line. These wires are usually of 20 gauge solid soft-drawn copper, or of 18 gauge three-quarter-hard electrical-grade aluminum, either single or duplex, with vinyl insulation, packaged on metal spools. Resistances for both types average 10. 3 ohms per 1000 ft(at 68 °F). These connecting wires are usually damaged or destroyed at each firing, and should be long enough to prevent damage to the permanent firing line(leading wires).
