    Abstract: A compact complementary transistor switch (CTS) memory cell structure utilizing both vertical PNP and vertical NPN transistors in gallium arsenide technology is described. The base region of the vertical PNP transistor merges with the collector region of the vertical NPN transistor. The collector region of the vertical PNP transistor merges with the base region of the vertical NPN transistor. The emitter of the vertical PNP transistor is at the top, and the emitter of the vertical NPN transistor is at the bottom in relation to the emitter of the vertical PNP transistor. This structure leads to improvements in memory density, performance and wireability of a memory array comprising many such cells. A novel yet simple process for making such compact CTS memory cells is also disclosed. FI9-87-018

    Abstract: FABRICATION OF POWER FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS AND THE RESULTING STRUCTURES The fabrication method provides a power metaloxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) having high switching speed capabilities. The high switching speed is facilitated by narrow channel length which is defined by the difference in lateral diffusion junctions of the P substrate and N source diffusions. The high current capability is produced by the large channel width. The high voltage capability is caused by the use of FET substrate P diffusions designed to be located apart from one another by very small distances. Unbiased or floating P diffusions are designed to flank the outer peripheries of P substrate diffusions. The close proximity of the adjacent P substrate diffusions reduces the electric field in the curvature portion of the P diffusion junctions in the N- silicon body at their inner peripheries, while the presence of the unbiased P diffusions at the appropriate distance from the outer peripheries of P substrate diffusions reduces the electric field in the curvature region of the P substrate diffusions at their outer peripheries. The N silicon body forms the drain region.

    Abstract: BIPOLAR DUAL-CHANNEL CHARGE-COUPLED DEVICE A bipolar dual-channel charge-coupled device having a first channel at the surface for storing a first bit stream of minority charge carrier packets and a second channel buried in the bulk for storing a second bit stream of majority charge carrier packets. The two bit streams are transferred along their respective surface and buried channels simultaneously and independently of each other, thereby substantially increasing the bit storage density of the chip.

    Abstract: FABRICATING INTEGRATED CIRCUITS INCORPORATING HIGH PERFORMANCE BIPOLAR TRANSISTORS A method and resulting semiconductor device which utilizes a mesa emitter structure in a silicon body. The mesa emitter is formed in the silicon semiconductor body and then passivated on its sidewalls using a suitable dielectric. The base region is formed both under the mesa emitter and adjacent thereto. The emitter-base junction is substantially in one plane and substantially without a sidewall component. Contacts are provided to the emitter and to the base region surrounding the mesa emitter. The resulting structure is such that a base contact can be within a few thousand angstroms of the intrinsic base region.

    Abstract: A METHOD FOR FORMING SELF-ALIGNED FIELD EFFECT DEVICE BY ION IMPLANTATION A method is provided for making a field effect transistor which comprises forming a layer of an ion beam making material on the surface of a semiconductor body of one-type conductivity. The layer has at least two adjacent apertures. At least a portion of the masking layer between these apertures and in contact with the semiconductor body surface is made of an electrically insulative material if an isolated gate field effect transistor is desired. Then a beam of ions of opposite-type conductivity is directed at the mask body at an energy and dosage sufficient to form two buried regions of opposite-type conductivity fully enclosed within said one-type body respectively beneath these two apertures. Finally, sufficient heat is applied so that the two buried regions diffuse upward until they extend respectively to the surface of the semiconductor body beneath the two apertures; the masking material must have a melting point above the temperature of the diffusion step.
