20140345529 | Method for Producing Semiconductor Layers and Coated Substrates Treated with Elemental Selenium and/or Sulphur, in Particular, Flat Substrates - A processing device for producing semiconductor layers and coated substrates treated with elemental selenium and/or sulphur includes an evacuable processing chamber for receiving a substrate to be processed. The substrate has a metal layer and/or a layer containing metal. A heating device provides convective heating of the substrate to a predetermined temperature. A first source of elementary selenium and/or sulphur vapor is located outside the processing chamber and connected to the processing chamber via a first feed line and/or a second source of elementary selenium and/or sulphur vapor is located inside the processing chamber. The elementary selenium and/or sulphur vapor is guided past the metal layer and/or layer containing metal, chemically reacting said layer with selenium or sulphur in a targeted manner. The substrate is heated and the elementary selenium and/or sulphur vapor is mixed and guided past the substrate by forced convection of a gas conveying device. | 11-27-2014 |
