VD0577 Silicon (Si) (P-Type) Evaporation Materials

Description:

Silicon is a metalloid and exhibits the typical properties of metals and non-metals. It is highly inert and insoluble in water and acids. However, it can be dissolved into silicates by hot alkaline solutions. Pure silicon forms dark grey, metallic crystals. Silicon possesses excellent thermal conductivity, which in pure silicon is accompanied by extremely low electrical conductivity. The alloying with aluminium increases strength and reduces weight.

High purity evaporation materials play an important role in deposition processes to ensure the quality of the deposited layer. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) specialises in the production of silicon evaporation materials with a purity level of up to 99.999% and applies quality assurance processes to guarantee product reliability.

Applications

1. Semiconductor devices: P‑type silicon evaporation materials are frequently used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. They permit the deposition of silicon layers with a defined dopant concentration, which imparts the required electronic characteristics. These doped silicon layers regulate current flow and ensure the functionality of components.

2. Manufacture of solar cells: P‑type silicon evaporation materials are employed for producing solar cells. Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity, and the use of P‑type silicon facilitates the production of photovoltaic structures. The deposition of P‑type silicon layers on substrates forms the basis for solar cells that generate electricity from sunlight.

3. Integrated circuits (ICs): In the production of integrated circuits, P‑type silicon evaporation materials are used. They enable the deposition of silicon layers with precise dopant concentrations required for the proper operation of transistors and other components in ICs. The resulting silicon layers contribute to the overall performance and reliability of circuits.

4. Thin‑film electronics: Thin‑film electronics consist of devices and systems built from thin material layers. P‑type silicon evaporation materials are used to deposit thin silicon layers on various substrates, thereby facilitating the production of miniaturised electronic components with defined properties. These layers are applied in sensors, displays and other electronic applications where compactness and flexibility are required.

5. Research and development: Evaporated P‑type silicon is utilised in research and development, particularly within materials science and electronics. Researchers use these materials to investigate new device structures, to quantitatively improve performance and to develop novel applications.
