Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0186033A1] In a silicon crystal growing machine an arsenic dopant is introduced into the silicon melt through a sealed feeding tube with an open end submerged below the silicon melt surface. The arsenic vapor generated is then introduced into the silicon melt volume directly with minimal arsenic vapor loss within the crystal grower volume above the silicon melt. The dopant feeding tube can be constructed either as an assembly that is attached to the crystal grower seed chuck and is lowered into the silicon melt using the seed chuck drive mechanism, or as a separate assembly that can be extended or retracted from the silicon melt through an access port in the crystal grower chamber wall above the silicon melt surface.
