The invention refers to a method for obtaining an accurately determined high resistance in a resistor produced in a single crystalline substrate in the form of a diffused region limited in length, width and depth direction, which region is covered with an oxide layer and is provided with a first and a second window in the oxide layer for connection of two terminal contacts. According to the invention, a third window is made in the oxide layer on the top of the diffused region by means of a conventional photo-resist and etching technique whereupon the diffused region is etched in the depth direction through the third window for a predetermined time period during which such a quantity of material is removed that the resistance of the quantity of material remaining in the diffused region, measured between the first and second window, will be equal to a predetermined resistance value.

An improved method for selectively masking a substrate surface is disclosed. The method includes forming a first layer of a masking material on a substrate and patterning this layer to provide a plurality of accurately spaced apertures exposing corresponding spaced locations on the substrate surface. A second composite masking layer is formed over the structure and is patterned to provide a plurality of apertures exposing a first set of apertures in the first layer, thereby enabling modification of the characteristics of the set of substrate surface locations exposed through the corresponding apertures through the first and second layers. A third composite masking layer is then formed over the structure and patterned to expose a second set of apertures in the first layer, thereby enabling modification of the characteristics of a second set of substrate locations, while maintaining accurate spacing between substrate location.

An improved process for the manufacture of a semiconductor device having a plurality of bipolar type semiconductor elements formed on a substrate and isolated from each other by diffusion layers. Each diffusion layer is formed by a diffusion layer diffused from an impurity source buried in the substrate into a semiconductor layer epitaxially grown on the substrate and another diffusion layer diffused from the surface of the epitaxially grown semiconductor layer until it is combined with the first-mentioned diffusion layer.

SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES HAVING MULTI-LAYER METAL CONDUCTORS FORMED ON THE SURFACE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND HAVING EXCESS METAL BETWEEN THE CONDUCTORS REMOVED BY SPUTTER ETCHING IN AN ATMOSPHERE WHICH PRODUCES OXIDATION OF ONE OF THE METAL LAYERS OF SAID CONDUCTORS. THE METAL COMPOUND MASK THUS FORMED INHIBITS THE ETCHING PROCESS IN THE REGIONS WHERE THE OIDIZED LAYER IS EXPOSED AND PROTECTS THE ACTIVE COMPONENTS BENEATH THE LAYER. THE OXIDIZED PORTIONS OF THE MASKING LAYER ARE THEN REMOVED BY A SUITABLE SOLVENT OR ETCH. A CHEMICAL ETCHING METAL COMPOUND MASK MAY BE FORMED OF A METAL AND THE SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL FOR SEPARATING THE CHIPS FROM THE WAFER BY ANISOTROPIC ETCHING.

摘要:
A PROCESS FOR FORMING A PEDESTAL BASE TRANSISTOR IN WHICH A BURIED LAYER OF A FIRST CONDUCTIVITY TYPE IS DIFFUSED INTO A SUBSTRATE OF A SECOND CONDUCTIVITY TYPE. IMPURITIES OF THE SECOND CONDUCTIVITY TYPE, WHICH HAVE A HIGHER DIFFUSION RATE THAN THE DOPANT WHICH FORMS THE BURIED LAYER, ARE DIFFUSED INTO A LIMITED AREA OF THE BURIED LAYER. AN EPITAXIAL LAYER IS FORMED ON THE SURFACE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR. DURING THE GROWTH OF THE EPITAXIAL LAYER, THE PREVIOUSLY DIFFUSED REGIONS OUTDIFFUSE INTO THE EPITAXIAL REGION. THE OUTDIFFUSION OF THE SECOND CONDUCTIVITY TYPE, DUE TO ITS FASTER DIFFUSING CHARACTERISTICS, APPROACHES THE SURFACE OF THEEPITAXIAL LAYER MORE CLOSELY THAN DOES THE BURIED LAYRE, THEREBY FORMING A PEDESTAL REGION. A SECOND DIFFUSION OF THE FAST DIFFUSING MATERIAL IS MADE THROUGH THE SURFACE OF THE EPITAXIAL LAYER AND CONTACTS THE PEDESTAL, THEREBY RESULLTING IN A HIGHLY DOPED PEDESR TAL TAL BASE REGION. DIFFUSED ISOLATION REGIONS AND AN EMITTER REGION ARE FORMED TO COMPLETE THE DIVICE IN MONOLITHIC FORM A METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY FORMING A SECOND TRANSISTOR OF THE COMPLEMENTARY TYPE TO THE FIRST TRANSISTOR USING THE SAME PROCESS STEPS IS ALSO DESCRIBED.
