Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9420991A1] A doping method for a solid host material (2), preferably a film, using an electrochemical cell (1, 2, 5, 6) and the host material (2) as one of the electrodes, wherein the doping is confined to a selected region of the host material by using either a specially designed counterelectrode, for example a tip (1), or by covering the host material (2) by a layer with the exception of the selected region. The method is especially suitable for using oxygen as dopant and the preparation of oxide superconductors. By using control devices and (piezoelectric) transducers known from the scanning tunneling microscope, doped regions of submicron resolution can be produced.
