Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
This chapter introduces the readers to the diffusion process of doping
intrinsic silicon. It discusses Fick’s Law of diffusion in-depth and the different types
of diffusion that may be observed. Towards the latter part of the chapter, the diffusion
process in semiconductors has been discussed in detail, explaining the diffusion-assisted doping process commonly employed for semiconductors, especially silicon
