Abstract

This invention relates to an apparatus for thermal diffusion by means of high frequency induction heating suitable for mass production of semiconductor substrates of uniform quality; wherein a plurality of heating bases, each made of a material having good electric conductivity, and carrying semiconductor substrates, are continuously fed through a furnace tube where the bases are heated by means of high frequency wave excitation in order that each semiconductor substrate receives substantially the same thermal treatment.
