Abstract

Alumina or aluminum is arranged on, or in the vicinity of, a wafer surface into which an impurity, particularly antimony, is to be diffused, and the impurity is vapor-diffused. The impurity can be diffused in much larger quantities than in a prior art vapor diffusion, and a very low sheet resistance for the diffused layer of antimony can be attained.
