Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A METHOD OF IMPURITY DOPING A SEMICONDUCTOR CRYSTAL TO PRODUCE A SPATIAL PATTERN OF DOPED REGIONS THEREWITHIN COMPRISING THE STEPS OF SELECTING A CRYSTAL OF SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL OF A PRESCRIBED CONDUCTIVITY TYPE, ENVELOPING SAID SEMICONDUCTOR CRYSTAL WITH A THERMAL NEUTRON ABSORBING MATERIAL HAVING A SLIT THERETHROUGH, SAID MATERIAL BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF CADMIUM AND BORON, EXPOSING THE ENVELOPED CRYSTAL TO THERMAL NEUTRON RADIATION WHICH IS CAPABLE OF TRANSFORMING THE REGION OF SAID CRYSTAL ADJACENT SAID SLIT TO A CONDUCTIVITY TYPE OF OPPOSITE NATURE TO SAID PRESCRIBED CONDUCTIVITY TYPE FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT TO ACCOMPLISH SAME, REMOVING SAID CRYSTAL FROM THE RADIATION, AND ANNEALING SAID CRYSTAL TO REMOVE RADIATION PRODUCED DEFECTS.
