Method for fabrication of improved bipolar injection logic circuit

TLDR
In this article, a vertical transistor is formed in an N-type epitaxial layer overlying an N+ substrate by implanting P-type impurity in a location spaced apart from the surfaces of the epitaxia layer.
Abstract
An integrated transistor circuit arrangement provides a multicollector transistor with Schottky diodes and ohmic connections selectively formed at the collector terminals. In the illustrative example, a vertical transistor is formed in an N-type epitaxial layer overlying an N+ substrate. A through-extending region of P+ material encircles the region of the epitaxial layer in which the vertical transistor is formed. The base of the vertical transistor is formed by the implanting of P-type impurity in a location spaced apart from the surfaces of the epitaxial layer. The resulting base has a symmetrical profile relative to the faces of the epitaxial layer. Therefore, the transistor may be operated with the collector at the surface without penalty of electrical operation. In the illustrative example, a PNP lateral transistor is utilized as a current source for the vertical transistor.
