Abstract

A method for doping a wafer of n-type seimiconductor material having two surfaces includes the steps of applying a boron solution to a first surface of the wafer and heating the wafer to drive the boron into the semiconductor wafer for forming a first p-type region. Both surfaces of the wafer are then exposed to a gallium vapor for forming a second p-type region on the second surface and deepening the extent of the first p-type region.
