Abstract

1300710 Integrated circuits SIGNETICS CORP 29 Nov 1971 [10 Dec 1970] 55246/71 Heading H1K The complementary vertical PNP and NPN transistors shown are formed from a single N- type silicon starting wafer 11 the (100) lower surface of which etched through apertured silica passivation using an anisotropic etch to form a groove. The groove and its surrounding area are exposed through silica film 18, and the entire collector region of the PNP transistor is formed by diffusion. The process is repeated at a further location to form the enhanced conductivity portion 24 of the collector region of the NPN transistor. Deeper grooves are then etched in the lower surface, the entire lower surface passivated, and a polycrystalline support 29 grown thereon. The upper surface of the structure is lapped to leave the isolated transistor islands, the diffused collector regions remaining just below the surface. Further diffusion operations provide emitter and base regions and enhanced conductivity contact regions. Care is taken to ensure that the collector contact regions meet the diffused collector portions which follow the contours of the grooves. Aluminium electrodes are provided. In the variant of Fig. 10 (not shown) the NPN transistor is not formed with a groove in its lower surface and diffusion into the lower face of the starting wafer at the location of the NPN transistor merely provides a normal collector sub-region.
