Defect formations and unwanted in diffusions caused by residual impurity products is prevented in a semiconductor fabrication method which includes the step of forming a composite mask which simultaneously defines base, collector and diffusion isolation openings. After these openings are defined a thin protective layer of silicon dioxide is grown over the exposed area and remains there throughout the remainder of the doping process which includes the steps of selectively covering areas which are not to be doped with photoresist and thereafter ashering the photoresist to remove it in preparation for the next ion implantation step. The thin protective layer of silicon dioxide protects nonselected areas against residual impurity products formed during removal of the photoresist.
