ABSTRACT:
Method is provided for controlling the concentration of a dopant introduced into an epitaxial film during CVD or sublimation growth by controlling the energy of dopant atoms impinging on the film in a supersonic beam. Precursor materials may also be introduced by supersonic beam. Energy of the dopant atoms may be changed by changing flow conditions in the supersonic beam or changing carrier gases. Flow may be continuous or pulsed. Examples of silicon carbide doping are provided.
