Abstract: A process is described which permits the fabrication of very narrow base width bipolar transistors in selected areas of an integrated circuit chip and bipolar transistors of wider base width on other selected areas of the same integrated circuit chip. The ability to selectively vary the transistor characteristics from one region of an integrated circuit chip to another provides a valuable degree of freedom for design of integrated circuits. The bipolar transistors on an integrated circuit chip are processed up to the point of emitter formation using conventional techniques. But, prior to the emitter (34, 35) formation, the base area (22) which is to be the emitter (34) of the selected region havingthe very narrow base transistors is dry etched using reactive ion etching. The existing silicon nitride/silicon dioxide layers with the emitter opening therein are used as the etching mask for this reactive ion etching procedure. Once the etching is completed to the desired depth, the normal processing is resumed to form the emitters (34, 35) and rest of the metallization.

Abstract: An on chip delay regulator circuit which varies the power in logic or array circuits on the chip so as to minimize, or eliminate, chip to chip circuit speed differences caused by power supply variations and/or lot to lot process differences, temperature, etc. The on chip delay regulator accomplishes this by comparing a reference signal to an on chip generated signal which is sensitive to power supply changes, lot to lot process changes, temperature, etc. The comparison creates an error signal which is used to change the power (current or voltage) supplied to the on chip circuits. By changing the circuit power, the circuit speed (gate delay) is increased or decreased as necessary to maintain a relatively constant circuit speed on each chip. For example, a plurality of integrated circuit chips each contain an on chip delay regulator. The on chip delay regulator on each chip of said plurality of integrated circuit chips receives and responds to the same signal (or clock). Each chip provides a discrete on chip generated signal related to the parameters of the chip. The gate delay (or speed) of the circuitry on each chip is determined by its on chip delay regulator under control of the common reference signal (or clock).

Abstract: A single logic gate array chip (1) is disclosed having a first portion (2) dedicated to the generation of one or more clock signals and the remaining portion (3) occupied by logic circuits. The first portion (2) uses the same gate array cell design as embodied in the logic circuits of the remaining portion (3). Both portions are powered by similar gate array metallization patterns, although some of the cells of the clock signal sources are disconnected from the normal chip powering busses and are powered instead by respective control signal generators. Each control signal represents the frequency difference between a given clock signal and a reference signal. The cells which are powered by a given control signal introduce a commensurate signal delay to drive the clock signal frequency into a predetermined relationship with the frequency of the reference signal.

Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator is formed of a plurality of cascaded inverter stages in a ring configuration. Each inverter stage is a grounded emitter circuit having an active pull-stage in order to achieve a short stage delay. The frequency of the ring oscillator is determined by the number of inverter stages, and the gain is selectable by coupling an external control voltage to only certain of the inverters. The VCO may be fabricated on a single integrated circuit along with the other circuits necessary to form a phase locked loop or other frequency generation system.

Abstract: A current controlled gate performing a NOR function utilizes a pair of transistors (T4, T5) acting as current mirrors that receive a DC bias through a large resistor (R B ). This bias occurs when an input transistor (T1, T2) is positive to insure that one of the current mirror transistors (T4, T5) will saturate when the input transistors (T1, T2) are "off" and the other will be driven into saturation when either of the input transistors (T1, T2) is "on". When all inputs are negative, one of the current mirror transistors (T4, T5) saturates thereby reducing the current to the input transistors (T1, T2) effectively to zero. The saturation results in the collector-base capacitance increasing very rapidly such that the input assumes the characteristics of a common emitter due to the large capacitance existing in the collector of the current mirror transistor (T4, T5). An active push-pull output is produced with a single collector path from input to output.
