    Abstract: A method for making a high performance bipolar transistor characterized by self-aligned emitter and base regions and minimized base and emitter contact spacing. The disclosed method comprises forming a recessed oxide-isolated structure having opposite conductivity epitaxial layer and substrate. Multiple layered mass of alternating silicon nitride and silicon dioxide layers are placed over the base region and over the collector reach-through region. Polycrystalline silicon is deposited between the mesas. The mesas are undercut-etched to expose the extrinsic base region which is ion implanted. Then, the mesas are removed to expose the emitter and intrinsic base regions as well as the collector reach-through regions. The latter exposed regions are ion implanted appropriately. Contacts are made directly to the emitter and collector reach-through regions and indirectly via the polysilicon to the base region.

    Abstract: A new dotting circuit for integrated circuit chips which provides line switching, as well as simultaneous true and complementary outputs (46,48), while eliminating the need for the standard collector circuit voltage clamp. This circuit is implemented by the collector dotting of two or more input transistors (12,22), the collector dotting of their respective reference transistors (55,56), the emitter dotting of one input transistor (12) and a reference transistor (55) to a constant current source (90), the emitter dotting of the other input transistor (22) and the other reference transistor (56) to a different constant current source (100), and an inhibit circuit (72) for permitting current to flow to only one of the emitter-dotted circuits in accordance with a logic control signal.

    Abstract: A high sheet resistance, doped semiconductor resistor is made by a process which produces a resistor diffusion or ion implantation mask having a narrow dimension determined by a "sidewall" technique. The sidewall technique defines the narrow dimension by the thickness of a doped or undoped layer (6) deposited on a different underlying layer having horizontal and vertical surfaces (5). The horizontal portion of the deposited layer is removed by anistropic etching to leave only the vertical portion (6). The vertical portion, if undoped, is removed to define a diffused or ion-implanted resistor. The vertical portion, if doped, may either be removed after heating to form a diffused resistor, or may be left in place to form a resistor in shunt with the diffused resistor.
