Status
SUPERSEDED - Replaced by a newer version.

Abstract

This standard was technically approved by the global Silicon Wafer Committee. This edition was approved for publication by the global Audits & Reviews Subcommittee on December 20, 2007. It was available at www.semi.org in February 2008. Originally published by ASTM International as ASTM F1528-94. Previously published November 2007.

 

Frequently it is essential to control the boron level in heavily-doped n-type substrates used to make epitaxial wafers because the boron contamination can result in autodoping at the epitaxial silicon-substrate interface. SIMS can measure the boron contamination in heavily-doped n-type substrates. This test method can be used for process control, research and development, and materials acceptance purposes.
