Abstract

1,030,669. Semi-conductor devices. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Dec. 2, 1964, No. 48961/64. Heading H1K. In a PNPN device comprising anode, cathode, gate, and base regions formed in a semi-conductor wafer, a layer covering the whole surface of the wafer is divided into an anode region and a gate region (containing the cathode region 3) by means of a groove or moat F extending more than halfway through the wafer from one face thereof in order to prevent surface breakdown under reverse bias. During the successive diffusions involved in making the device, use is made of the property possessed by silicon dioxide of acting as a mask for phosphorus but not for gallium. The groove or moat F may be produced by etching or by air abrasion or other mechanical method.
