    Abstract: A resistance standard for calibrating four-point probes used to measure resistances of semiconductor material has a metal pattern having an area of known resistance value deposited on the surface of a semiconductor wafer. Four diffused areas of opposite conductivity to the remainder of the wafer are disposed adjacent to and are electrically connected to the area of known resistance value. One point of the probe is contacted to each of the diffused areas to connect the probe to the standard. A constant current is passed through the area of known resistance and the voltage drop across the area measured. This standard is both stable and allows probe to semiconductor contact experienced in actual measurements to be duplicated during calibration of the probe.

    Abstract: ABS Process for Making Complementary Transistors A simple process is provided for making a planar CMOS structure wherein isolation regions required by bulk CMOS structures are first formed, an N channel device field region is self-aligned to an N well region in a semiconductor substrate and a refractory material is twice defined for forming P and N channels, the first definition masking P channel source and drain regions while defining the N channel and the second definition defining the P channel while using a photoresist layer to mask the N channel. In the process, a technique which uses a single mask level defines the well region and self-aligns the necessary field doping to the well region to provide closely spaced N and P channel devices.
