Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing semiconductor bipolar devices and structures comprising carrying out processing steps such as diffusion, reoxidation, epitaxial deposition, isolation and similar process steps, at a processing temperature range in which the conductivity dopant or impurity exhibits maximum solubility in the semiconductor material thereby minimizing crystallographic dislocations which render subsequent device structures defective.
