What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedOxidation and diffusion furnaces are thermal processing tools used in semiconductor manufacturing. Oxidation furnaces grow oxide on silicon surfaces, and diffusion furnaces drive dopant species into wafers at elevated temperature. Furnaces of this class are typically used for batch wafer processing in quartz process tubes under controlled gas flow and temperature conditions.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThermal oxidation and diffusion systems heat silicon wafers in a furnace environment so that gas phase chemistry and high temperature can modify the wafer surface or near surface region. Oxidation processes form silicon oxide on the wafer, while diffusion processes introduce and redistribute dopants within the silicon. Equipment in this class typically uses process tubes, wafer boats, and controlled ambient gases to maintain repeatable thermal conditions across a batch.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedOxidation and diffusion equipment is used for silicon wafer processing where a thermal oxide or a diffused doped region is required. Typical applications for this class include gate or field related oxide growth, dopant drive processes, junction formation, and other silicon surface conditioning steps used in device fabrication.
