A method includes forming a deep well region of a first conductivity type in a substrate, implanting a portion of the deep well region to form a first gate, and implanting the deep well region to form a well region. The well region and the first gate are of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type. An implantation is performed to form a channel region of the first conductivity type over the first gate. A portion of the deep well region overlying the channel region is implanted to form a second gate of the second conductivity type. A source/drain implantation is performed to form a source region and a drain region of the first conductivity type on opposite sides of the second gate. The source and drain regions are connected to the channel region, and overlap the channel region and the first gate.

A transistor configuration for a bandgap circuit is configured in the form of an npn transistor. An insulated p-type well, which is surrounded by a buried n-type well, is used as a base terminal. The n-type well constitutes the emitter terminal. A negatively doped region, which acts as a collector terminal, is formed in the p-type well. The structure that is used exists in DRAM processes, and it can therefore be used to form an npn transistor as a footprint diode in bandgap circuits.

An avalanche transistor has a heterojunction emitter-base junction. The avalanche transistor includes a spacer layer provided between an emitter layer and a base layer. The spacer layer has an energy band gap between that of the base layer and that of the emitter layer, a carrier concentration lower than that of the base layer, and a thickness so that the whole spacer layer becomes a depletion layer at thermal equillibrium so that a neutral region is produced in the spacer layer at a voltage lower than the threshold voltage of the emitter-base junction. Thus, the same element is both bistable with the base current as a parameter and has an S-shaped negative differential resistance with the base voltage as a parameter.

Logic circuits for performing the INVERTER and NOR functions, and monolithic integrated structures for realizing the circuits. The basic circuit comprises PNP transistor and an NPN transistor. The emitter of the PNP transistor has its base grounded and its collector connected to the base of the NPN transistor having its emitter grounded. The logic signal input is at the base of the NPN transistor. The output is taken at the collector of the NPN transistor and is the inverse of the input. Two such basic circuits are interconnected to provide the NOR function.
