  • Reduced beta vertical transistors and method of fabrication
    Patent number: 4595943
    Abstract: The current gain, beta, of a vertical transistor having an emitter formed in an epitaxial base on a substrate collector is reduced by forming a high impurity region of the conductivity type of the base at the base-collector boundary to increase the base width greater than the vertical distance between the emitter and collector. A plurality of vertical transistors having identical emitters and a common collector may be simultaneously fabricated with different current gains by individually selecting the horizontal dimensions of the buried high impurity regions.
