Abstract
Abstract THE METHOD INCLUDES PROVIDING A UNIFORMLY THICK BASE LAYER ON A WAFER OF SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL WHICH IS TO BECOME TRANSISTOR COLLECTORS, AND DIFFUSING A PLURALITY OF SEPARATE EMITTER REGIONS INTO THE BASE LAYER. DURING EMITTER DIFFUSION, A GRID OF LIKE CONDUCTIVITY IS DIFFUSED INTO THE BASE LAYER AND BETWEEN ADJACENT EMITTER REGIONS TO ISOLATE THE ACTIVE REGION OF EACH TRANSITOR. A GAIN FIGURE-OF-MERIT IS THEN MEASURED FOR ONE TRANSISTOR IN THE WAFER, AND IF BELOW A DESIRED MINIMUM, THE EMITTER REGIONS ARE REDIFFUSED. AFTER ACHIEVEING THE DESIRED GAIN, THE TRANSISTORS ARE SEPARATED FROM THE WAFER.
