PRODUCTION OF THE NEUTRON-DOPED SINGLE-CRYSTAL
SILICON BY FLOAT ZONE MELTING

Under the auspices of RISI, a one-of-the-kind Russian production of the high-purity single-crystal silicon by float-zone melting (FZM) has been established, succeeded by neutron transmutation doping.

Resulted from the FZM growth of the single-crystal silicon in ingots and the subsequent nuclear (neutron-transmutation) doping, dopants are not introduced into silicon, but produced from the atoms of silicon itself under the neutron radiation influence. This allows obtaining single-crystal silicon with the preset electrophysical values corresponding to modern requirements of power electronics and power industry for homogeneity of the structure, stability, and reproducibility of qualities.

High-purity single-crystal silicon is used extensively in production of semiconductor devices and IC chips.
