Abstract
Abstract A process for fabricating a high-speed CMOS TTL semiconductor device, wherein the operational speed of a semiconductor device is controlled by adjusting the capacitance of its field region. The capacitance of the field region is adjusted by the thickness thereof, which is determined by the control of diffusion heating cycles in the fabrication sequence according to the invention.
