Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor arrangement comprises a region of a second type of conductivity formed in a semiconductor body of a first type of conductivity from one surface thereof, an insulating layer on this surface defining an opening above the said region and a resistance layer covering the opening in the insulating layer and comprising a metal silicide compound of silicon with a metal from the subgroups of groups V or VI of the periodic system which contain tungsten, molybdenum or tantalum.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
212 words
A multidiode charge store for an electron beam picture pickup tube comprising in combination; a semiconductor body of a first type of conductivity, a plurality of juxtaposed regions of a second type of conductivity formed in said semiconductor body from one surface thereof and forming respective diodes therewith, an insulating layer on said surface of said semiconductor body and defining an opening above each of said plurality of regions of said second type of conductivity which openings extend to said surface of said semiconductor body, and a resistance layer provided on said one surface of said semiconductor body, said resistance layer covering the exposed portions of said regions within said openings in said insulating layer and extending over at least the adjacent portions of said insulating layer surrounding said openings, said resistance layer having a resistance which is sufficiently high so as to constitute a means for avoiding an interfering charge of said insulating layer by the electron beam scanning said surface of said semiconductor body and a discharge of the barrier layer capacitance of the diodes between two successive scans, said resistance layer comprising a metal silicide compound with the metal being selected from the subgroups of groups V and VI of the periodic table which contain tantalum, molybdenum or tungsten.
