Abstract

A method for implanting atomic species through an uneven surface of a semiconductor layer. The technique includes applying a covering layer upon the uneven surface in an amount sufficient and in a manner to increase surface uniformity. The method also includes implanting atomic species through the covering layer and uneven surface to obtain a more uniform depth of implantation of the atomic species in the layer.
