Abstract

1443836 Integrated bipolar transistors TRW Inc 24 May 1974 [25 May 1973 (2)] 23395/74 Heading H1K In manufacturing an integrated circuit bipolar transistor a mask used in the formation of the collector region by diffusion or ion implantation is retained during formation of base and emitter regions or more limited extent by diffusion or implantation. The mask may be of silicon nitride, alumina, zirconia or a thick layer of silicon dioxide so that it remains substantially unchanged during formation and removal by etching of any thin silicon dioxide masking layers used in subsequent manufacturing steps. Typically a number of identical transistors are formed in a P-type silicon wafer by first providing a nitride mask 14 of rectangular frame form for each device, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, S/2 representing the tolerance in mask alignment. In each subsequent diffusion or metallization step an oxide layer is provided overall and conventionally patterned to define masks of suitable form. After forming the collector region by diffusion through the entire central opening in each frame, the base region 22 and inversion stop region 24 are simultaneously diffused and then the emitter 26 and collector contact region 28. In another generally similar process the initial mask is of thick oxide and the zone arrangement such as to permit the base electrode to be located between the emitter and collector electrodes (Fig. 27, not shown). In a further variant in which the initial mask is in the form of a rectangular perimetered figure eight (Fig. 13), overlapping zones formed by diffusion through windows 54, 56 constitute the collector region, the base region is formed by diffusion through the wider window only and the emitter zone by diffusion through half of that window. Where ion-implantation is used the thin oxide masking may be replaced by hardened photoresist. Processing details are given and dopant concentrations specified.
