Abstract

Disclosed are B.sub.2 O.sub.3 -containing glass-ceramic bodies made by in situ thermal crystallization of glasses and useful as a host for diffusion doping of semiconductors by the vapor phase transport of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 to the semiconductor from the glass-ceramic which in mole percent consists essentially of SiO.sub.2 15-40, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 15-30, B.sub.2 O.sub.3 20-60, RO 5-25, La.sub.2 O.sub.3 0-5, Nb.sub.2 O.sub.5 0-5 and Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 0-5 wherein RO is selected from MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO in specified percentages, and mixtures thereof and wherein the ratio Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 to RO is 1.5-4.
