Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The deposition method comprises providing a substrate with a first mono-crystalline zone made of a semiconductor material and a second zone made of an insulating material. During a passivation step, a passivation atmosphere is applied on the substrate so as to cover the first zone with doping impurities. During a deposition step, gaseous silicon and/or germanium precursors are introduced and a doped semiconductor film is formed. The semiconductor film is mono-crystalline over the first zone and has a different texture over the second zone. During an etching step, a chloride gaseous precursor is applied on the substrate so as to remove the semiconductor layer over the second zone.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a doped mono-crystalline semiconductor layer on a substrate, the method comprising the following steps: A) providing a substrate having a face comprising a first zone of mono-crystalline semiconductor material and a second zone of insulating material; B) submitting the substrate to a doping atmosphere comprising gaseous dopant precursors and devoid of gaseous silicon or germanium precursors; C) submitting the substrate to…
