Abstract

The invention discloses an apparatus for thermal diffusion of semiconductor devices, wherein a plurality of wafer boats each made of a refractory material and adapted to carry a predetermined number of wafers to be processed are sequentially fed into a furnace tube containing a high temperature, diffusion gas atmosphere and continuously transported at a predetermined speed through the furnace tube so that each wafer may have substantially the same thermal treatment and high productivity may be attained.
