Abstract

Disclosed is a method for diffusion doping of silicon and germanium semiconductors by the vapor phase transport of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 from a solid B.sub.2 O.sub.3 source to the semiconductor, wherein the solid B.sub.2 O.sub.3 source comprises a rigid, dimensionally stable, glass-ceramic body formed from certain alkaline earth aluminoborosilicate parent glass compositions. The glass-ceramic bodies contain up to 60 mole % of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 and are dimensionally stable at doping temperatures of 1050.degree.C and higher.
