  • Patent number: 3969744
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is described containing at least two insulating gate field effect transistors in a common wafer. One of the transistors exhibits high gain but the other transistor exhibits low gain as a result of selectively implanting into its channel neutral ions and crystal damage which reduce the effective mobility of charge carriers therein. In one embodiment, the low gain transistor serves as a load for the high gain transistor. In a second embodiment, the low gain transistor is a parasitic transistor formed between adjacent circuit elements.
