Abstract

An integrated Darlington circuit comprises a Schottky diode (D; 35.33a) disposed in parallel with the emitter- base junction (33b/32a) of a transistor (T1). The emitter (33b, 41) base (32a, 34a, 34b) and collector (31, 30) each comprise an epitaxial portion (33b, 32a, 31) which are formed by three superimposed epitaxial layers (33, 32, 31) of alternating conductivity types (n-p-n). The Schottky diode (D) comprises a metal electrode (35) situated at the surface of the upper epitaxial layer (33) of which another portion (33b) forms the epitaxial portion of the emitter (33b, 41) of the transistor (T1). This Schottky electrode (35) is connected to the transistor emitter (33b, 41) by a metal layer (40). At the surface of the upper epitaxial layer (33) the base contact (39) contacts both the epitaxial portion (33a) of the Schottky diode (D) and a highly-doped base reach-through zone (34) which extends to the base epitaxial portion (32a). The arrangement permits the switching speed of a Darlington amplifier to be improved without requiring additional doping or etching steps to integrate the Schottky diode (D). <IMAGE>
