Self-aligned planar monolithic integrated circuit vertical transistor process

摘要

A process for creating self-aligned vertically arrayed planar transistors. The preferred embodiment relates to the simultaneous fabrication of both NPN and PNP planar vertically arrayed transistors in a conventional monolithic, epitaxial, PN junction isolated, integrated circuit. A field oxide is employed to surface isolate the devices and assist in the self-alignment improvement.
