Abstract

1383708 Semi-conductor devices RCA CORPORATION 24 Aug 1972 [1 Sept 1971] 39538/72 Heading H1K A semi-conductor device, e.g. an RF overlay transistor, comprises a semi-conductor body having a first region of first conductivity type and a second region of second. conductivity type adjacent the first region and extending to the body surface, a highly conductive grid-like third region formed of second conductivity type or intermetallic material extending into the second region from the surface and a highly resistive second conductivity type region disposed between, and in contact with, both the first region and the highly conductive third region. As shown in the Si body 32, the first region of the transistor forms the collector and comprises highly conductive (N<+>) substrate 38 and highly resistive (N-) region 40, and the second region is formed by P-type base region 42. A number of emitter segments 44 extend into the base region 42, and the third region is a highly conductive (P<+> as shown) grid 48 surrounding each emitter segment 44 which extends through base region 42 and into collector region 40. Extending between the grid 48 and the collector region 40 is a highly resistive P- grid 50, which is more resistive than both the base region 42 and the grid 48 and which forms a high-low junction with the grid 48. Layer thicknesses are given in the example. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the highly conductive grid extending into the base region is formed of an intermetallic material such as platinum silicide or palladium silicide. The arrangement reduces the number of "shorts" between the highly conductive grid and the base-collector junction and gives a lower and more. linear output capacitance.
