Process for doping semiconductors

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6355941
The present invention relates to a process for doping semiconductors, comprising the steps of: effecting implantation by recoil consisting in depositing on the surface of the substrate a layer of material containing dopant particles and in bombarding said layer by means of a beam of bombarding particles, which are in particular non-dopant, so as to cause the dopant particles to penetrate in the substrate; eliminating the layer of material deposited on the surface of the substrate; and effecting transitory annealing. The invention is applicable to the manufacture of solar cells.
