Patent ID: 8304013

Claim:
A method for producing doped layers for electronic, luminescent or photovoltaic components, the method comprising: evaporating, or admixing as an aerosol to a carrier gas, one or more liquid or solid starting materials in a source ( 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ) to produce a gaseous form of the one or more starting materials; transporting, in the gaseous form, the one or more starting materials from the source to a deposition chamber ( 1 ); during transport, while said first one of the one or more staring materials is in the gaseous form and is spatially located between the source and the deposition chamber, modifying the first one of the one or more starting materials to produce a dopant; and condensing, within the deposition chamber and as a result of a temperature gradient, the one or more staring materials on a substrate ( 5 ), thereby forming a doped matrix on the substrate, wherein the first one of the one or more starting materials is characterized in that without the modification, the first one of the one or more starting materials does not have a doping effect on the matrix.
