Dopant Atom Diffusion Solutions

Critical to the process of semiconductor fabrication is introducing small amounts of dopants at exact locations in controlled concentrations. This gives the semiconductor its required electrical properties. Diffusion is the movement of impurity atoms in silicon (or another semiconductor) at high temperature. Basically, diffusion can be described as a "smoothing out" of any localized high concentration of impurity atoms that is driven by the motion of the atoms in the material and by their mobility through the dominant atomic matrix.
