20130047913 | Method and Apparatus for Doping by Lane in a Multi-Lane Sheet Wafer Furnace - A method and apparatus for forming a sheet wafer add material to a crucible having a feed area and a dump area, and melt the material to form a wafer growth area between the feed area and the dump area. The material is added to the feed area and removed through the dump area. The method and apparatus substantially simultaneously draw a plurality of sheet wafers from the growth area, and directly apply dopant to the melted material at the growth area. The dopant thus bypasses the feed area to dope at least a portion of the growth area. | 02-28-2013 |

20120125254 | Method for Reducing the Range in Resistivities of Semiconductor Crystalline Sheets Grown in a Multi-Lane Furnace - A method for reducing the range in resistivities of semiconductor crystalline sheets produced in a multi-lane growth furnace. A furnace for growing crystalline sheets is provided that includes a crucible with a material introduction region and a crystal growth region including a plurality of crystal sheet growth lanes. The crucible is configured to produce a generally one directional flow of material from the material introduction region toward the crystal sheet growth lane farthest from the material introduction region. Silicon doped with both a p-type dopant and an n-type dopant in greater than trace amounts is introduced into the material introduction region. The doped silicon forms a molten substance in the crucible called a melt. Crystalline sheets are formed from the melt at each growth lane in the crystal growth region. Co-doping the silicon feedstock can reduce the variation in resistivities among the crystalline sheets formed in each lane. | 05-24-2012 |
