    Abstract: An integrated circuit and process for making it wherein a decoupling capacitor is provided beneath devices in the surface of the integrated circuit by the formation of a first epitaxial layer between an N substrate having a P zone diffused therein and an N device-containing epitaxial layer. A P channel diffusion to the P zone formed in the substrate will serve as a damping resistor in combination with the coupling capacitor. The process for forming such a decoupling capacitor in an integrated circuit comprises, inter alia, diffusing P impurities into the substrate to form a large junction which will subsequently function as a decoupling capacitor. A first intrinsic, P or N epitaxial layer is then grown on the semiconductor substrate. Subsequently, an N epitaxial layer is grown on the first epitaxial layer. A P channel is then driven through the N epitaxial layer and the first epitaxial layer to contact the P diffused zone which serves as the decoupling capacitor. This P channel diffusion will serve as a damping resistor in combination with the decoupling capacitor. Device diffusion, i.e., transistors, resistors, etc., will take place into the N epitaxial layer, and during growth of the epitaxial layers the P zone will significantly outdiffuse into the first epitaxial layer. Appropriate channels, isolations and contacts are also provided.

    Abstract: A SEMICONDUCTIVE DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR FORMING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WHEREIN THE OHMIC CONTACT IS IN THE ORDER OF MICRONS IN WIDTH. A FIRST METAL IS FORMED IN THE OPENING IN THE PROTECTIVE COATING WHICH ACTS AS THE OHMIC CONTACT TO THE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE. A SECOND METAL MAY BE APPLIED ONLY OVER THE FIRST METAL BY ELECTROLESS OR ELECTROPLATING TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE THE CONDUCTIVITY OF THE OHMIC CONTACT. FINALLY, AN EXTERNAL LAND METAL LAYER IS DEPOSITED OVER A RELATIVELY LARGE AREA OF THE PROTECTIVE COATING IN THE AREA OF THE OHMIC CONTACT WITH FINGER-LIKE EXTENSIONS OF THE LAND METAL LAYER CONTACTING THE OHMIC CONTACT BY SHORT OVERLAID AREAS. THE EXTERNAL LAND IS THE ONLY METAL LAYER IN THE PROCESS FORMED WHICH REQUIRES A PHOTOGRAPHIC MASK. THE PROCESS, THEREFORE, IN NOT LIMITED BY PRESENT DAY PHOTOENGRAVING TECHNIQUES.

    Abstract: A technique of fabricating semiconductor devices so as to avoid mask alignment difficulties when it is required that electrical contact be made subsequent to the formation of extremely small device regions. The diffusion mask for creating the small device regions is constituted of a first film which is subject to ready etching by a first etchant but which is substantially unaffected by a second etchant. A second film covers the opening in the device region formation. This film being subject to etching by the second etchant but being substantially unaffected by the first etchant. As a result, the second film is removed from within the opening without affecting the first film since the first film will resist the second etchant. Thus, the original opening is re-established for the purpose of making contact to the device region, the first film remaining as a passivating film on the substrate.
