摘要:
A method of forming an aligned vertical oxide fuse and emitter using a single mask. The mask includes an opening through which impurities are introduced into the base region through a first layer of insulation and which is subsequently used to form the emitter aperture through the first insulative layer. The thin fuse oxide is formed by non-selective oxidation after removal of the mask. Alternatively, the impurities may also be introduced through the emitter aperture or from doped thin fuse oxide after removal of the mask. The resulting integrated circuit includes at least three regions of oxidation of three thicknesses, in descending order, field oxide, device opening or gate oxide and fuse oxide.

摘要:
A pattern for determining dimensions of projected or printed figures is provided having individual scaling figures therein on a mask or template. Dimensional measurement may be indicated by alignment of opposing edges of scaling figures offset from each other along the corresponding axis of alignment. Reference marks may be provided on the pattern and associated with each possible axis of alignment for indicating an absolute dimension of a concurrently projected or printed figure. To conserve space, the pattern may be "densepacked" with scaling figures such that each scaling figure includes a plurality of opposing edges, each alignable along a different axis in response to different levels of dimensional distortion.
摘要:
A polycrystalline silicon fuse is formed to have a thickness below 1000 Angstroms by depositing a polycrystalline silicon layer to a thickness greater than 1200 Angstroms, oxidizing the polycrystalline silicon in a partially rich oxygen atmosphere to under 1000 Angstroms, removing the oxide layer over at least a sample fuse and measuring the thickness of the polycrystalline silicon.
