Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Exemplary embodiments of a method for producing a semiconductor component having a polycrystalline semiconductor body region are disclosed, wherein the polycrystalline semiconductor body region is produced between the first and second surfaces of the semiconductor body in a semiconductor component section, wherein an electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of at least 1064 nm is introduced into the semiconductor body in a manner focused onto a position in the semiconductor component section of the semiconductor body and wherein the power density of the radiation at the position is less than 1×10 8 W/cm 2 .

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a semiconductor component, comprising: providing a monocrystalline semiconductor body having a first surface, a second surface lying opposite the first surface, a semiconductor component section of the semiconductor body and, adjacent thereto, a separating region of the semiconductor body, producing a polycrystalline semiconductor body region between the first and second surfaces in the semiconductor component section, wherein an ele…
