  • Abstract
    A simple theory underlying the formation of lateral doping profiles in semiconductor device processing is presented for the first time. The theory shows how an arbitrary lateral doping profile can, in principle, be fabricated by ion implantation and diffusion. Practical applications of the theory are limited only by photolithography and diffusion time. The mask layout and diffusion parameters for a linear lateral profile and a square root lateral profile are detailed
