ABSTRACT:
A method for the prevention of dopant diffusion from the back side of a doped semiconductor substrate during epitaxial layer growth. The entire surface of the substrate is first covered with a cleanly etchable material. Around the entire first layer is formed a second dopant diffusion barrier layer. The front sides of the layers are then selectively etched away to expose the front side of the substrate upon which the epitaxial layer will be grown without contamination of dopant diffusion from the sealed back side of the substrate.
