Abstract: A vertical pair of complementary, bipolar transistors is disclosed which includes a semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type and a pair of dielectric isolation regions disposed in contiguous relationship with the substrate. An injector region of opposite conductivity type is disposed between the pair of isolation regions. A pair of heavily doped, polycrystalline, semiconductor regions of the one conductivity type is disposed over and in registry with the pair of isolation regions. Similarly, a single crystal, semiconductor region of the one conductivity type is disposed over and in registry with the injector region. Finally, a first zone of opposite conductivity type is disposed in the single crystal region and a second zone of the one conductivity type is disposed in the first zone.
