  • Patent number: 4228448
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a bipolar integrated semiconductor structure that has incorporated therein both I.sup.2 L and linear type bipolar devices. The integrated structure utilizes a double epitaxial layer deposited or formed on a starting substrate wherein at least one linear type bipolar device is incorporated in one portion of the final integrated structure and at least one I.sup.2 L bipolar device is incorporated in another portion of the final double epitaxial layer integrated structure. For the linear type bipolar device, the subcollector region is selectively located between the starting substrate and the first epitaxial layer whereas for the I.sup.2 L bipolar device, the sub-emitter region is selectively located between the first and the second epitaxial layers. Other features of the bipolar integrated semiconductor structure include polysilicon isolation for the I.sup.2 L and linear devices, up and down diffused PN junction isolation type regions, up-diffused base region for the I.sup.
