Abstract

1,030,443. Transistors. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. Feb. 1, 1963 [Feb. 5, 1962], No. 4229/63. Heading H1K. A transistor comprises a germanium body of one conductivity type with a surface diffused layer of opposite conductivity type provided with an ohmic and a rectifying contact, the latter including a recrystallized layer of the one conductivity type with an overlying resolidified mass including lead or bismuth and tin or lead in addition to the impurities determining the conductivity types of the diffused and recrystallized layers. The illustrated embodiment is made from a P-type germanium wafer 1 on which N layer 2 has been formed by diffusion from antimony vapour. Two pellets of lead alloyed with 10 vol. per cent of an alloy of tin containing 2% by weight of antimony are lightly alloyed to the wafer. After painting one pellet 5 with aluminium the assembly is heated in hydrogen and slowly cooled. During this process layer 2 is extended beneath the pellets and recrystallized P and N zones 6, 4 produced immediately below the pellets. The N layer 2 is etched from the opposite face, a nickel layer 8 attached to the exposed P body with indium solder and lead-tin solder-coated nickel wires 7 attached to the pellets. Finally the configuration shown is obtained by etching with the region between the pellets masked. The prediffused N layer may be dispensed with, in which case surface diffusion of the antimony is relied on to provide the N layer between the pellets. In alternative methods the antimony is incorporated in the pellets from the vapour phase during alloying and the impurity for providing P zone 6 may be similarly added immediately before the cooling step. Layers deposited from the vapour phase or by electrolysis may replace the pellets.
