  • Substrate with Two Sided Doping and Method of Producing the Same
    Publication number: 20080111206
    Abstract: A method of processing a substrate having first and second surfaces applies a first dopant in liquid form on the first surface of the substrate, and applies a second dopant in liquid form on the second surface of the substrate.
