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 silicon semiconductor, wherein the solid B.sub.2 O.sub.3 source comprises a rigid, dimensionally stable, glass-ceramic body containing at least about 10 mole percent of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the glassy phase, the crystalline phase, or both.
