  • Patent number: 8377212
    Abstract: A chamber for annealing a semi-conductor material of II-VI type having a first area for storing an element of group II of the periodic table and a second area designed to receive the semi-conductor material of II-VI type. The chamber s equipped with a separating partition at the level of an intermediate area. This separating partition is provided with a passage aperture equipped with gas anti-reverse flow means to ensure one-way passage of the element of group II of the periodic table, in vapor phase, from the first area to the second area.
