摘要:
A lateral transistor having a high breakdown voltage and operable with an improved current amplification factor and an improved cut-off frequency comprises in a semiconductor substrate (14) of one conductivity type, a base layer (16) of the one conductivity type and an emitter layer (11) of the other conductivity type formed in the base layer. A first collector layer (12) of the other conductivity type is formed in the one principal surface of the substrate apart from the base layer and a second collector layer (13) of the same conductivity type having an impurity concentration lower than that of the first collector layer is formed between the first collector layer and the base layer in contact with the latter layers. Emitter, base and collector electrodes (17,18,19) make ohmic contact with the emitter, base and first collector layers respectively. The emitter electrode extends on a passivation film (15) covering the one principal surface of the substrate to terminate at a point on the second collector layer.

A semiconductor switch circuit of field-drive type includes a bipolar components (8, 9) having a forward blocking and reverse blocking junctions, and unipolar components (10, 11) of one and another conductivity types connected across the bipolar component so as to short-circuit its forward blocking junction. The switch circuit operates to turn on or off in response to the voltage signal to the gate circuit which is isolated from the bipolar component, irrespective of the polarity of a voltage applied across the bipolar component.

A resistance element capable of withstanding a high voltage is formed through impurity diffusion in a single crystal island (1) of a semiconductor integrated circuit substrate. The resistance element includes a resistive region (2; 16) formed in an exposed surface of the single crystal island (1) and folded reciprocatively by at least one and a half turns in a planar zigzag-like pattern. The pitch at which the resistive region is folded is decreased as viewed in the direction in which extension of depletion layer formed within the single crystal island upon application of a voltage between two ends of the resistive region is decreased.

摘要:
In a lateral type p-n-p transistor, n-type semiconductor base substance and n-type base region is connected through a high resistance. Due to the high resistance, since an affect in a conjunction capacity between p-type collector (23) and n-type semiconductor base (11) substance can be lessen, a cutoff frequency in the lateral type p-n-p transistor can be heighten. Thereby, a high frequency in a high breakdown voltage lateral type semiconductor device can be improved. The contact condition is avoided by separating the interval between a high concentration of n-base region (11) having a high impurity concentration and a high concentration of p-collector region (23) having a low impurity concentration. Without the lowing in a breakdown voltage, the concentration of the p-collector region (23) having the low impurity concentration can be heighten, thereby a collector resistance can be made small. At the transistor operation time, the voltage between the emitter (21) and the base (11) can be lowered, a current capacity can be improved.
