pn junction Diode Fabrication
Start:-The starting point is a flat, damage-free , single-
crystal, Si wafer.Common dopants are boron for P-type layers and
phosphorus, antimony and Arsenic for N-type layers.
Assume the wafer is p-type, having been uniformly doped with boron during the formation of the
crystal.

1.Oxidation:-
The process of oxidation consists of growing a thin film of silicon dioxide on the surface of the silicon wafer.
It will serve as a diffusion barrier. The oxide thickness must be comfortably
greater than the projected masking thickness.

2.Lithography#1:-
This process performed to open “diffusion” holes in the oxide that will eventually become the positions of the pn junction diodes.

3.Phosphorus DiffusionAfter a proper clean-up the wafer is nest inserted
into a phosphorus pre-deposition Furnace.The formation of n+ -p junctions is surface regions
not protected by the oxide. (The + in n+ is indicate a very high doping.

4.Metallization(sputter Al)
Evaporation of Al yields a thin metal film over the entire surface of the wafer due to connect the
device to the ‘’outside world’’

5.Lithography #2:- It is performed to remove excess metal external to
the area of the diffused junction.

To produce commercial diodes, a diamond-edged saw would be used to cut the wafer into pieces containing a single device.
