Low cost method of fabricating transient voltage suppressor semiconductor devices or the like

摘要

Transient voltage suppressor semiconductor devices and other semiconductor devices having rigorous requirements for the diffusion and depth of impurities to produce P-N junctions can be fabricated at surprisingly low costs without sacrifice of functional characteristics by subjecting the substrate to a grinding process resulting in a surface short of polishing perfection, thereby to eliminate the time-consuming and hence costly conventional polishing operation, and then diffusing the desired impurity into the substrate from a solid impurity source.
