Abstract

1,186,945. Semi-conductor devices. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 12 March, 1968 [15 March, 1967], No. 11872/68. Heading H1K. A semi-conductor device comprises a monocrystalline substrate 21 having a mask 22 on one surface and an epitaxial layer 23 of semiconductor material grown through a window in the mask to extend over part of the surface of the mask. This extension is produced by arranging that the direction of highest growth rate of the semi-conductor material is parallel to the surface of the substrate. The mask is made of silicon dioxide and a Group IV element or Group III-V compound such as gallium arsenide is used as the semi-conductor material. In the case of a diode, an impurity is diffused into a part 24 of the grown epitaxial layer 24 to form a PN junction in this layer, and electrodes 25, 26 are provided. Embodiments in the form of thyristors, Fig. 2 (not shown), and field effect transistors, Fig. 1 (not shown), are also described.
