Title: Alloy-diffused transistor
IPC: H01L21/228
Filed: 1964-03-12
Abstract: 995,527. Semi-conductor devices. MOTOROLA Inc. March 12, 1964 [March 22, 1963], 10546/64. Heading H1K. In a transistor comprising a semi-conductor body of one conductivity type having an alloyed layer of opposite conductivity type on one face and having an emitter region of the first conductivity type alloyed through the layer, the base region of the opposite conductivity type is diffused out of the alloyed emitter region. As shown, Fig. 3, a wafer 30 of P-type germanium has a disc of lead doped with antimony alloyed to its surface to form an N+ type regrown layer 26. Any lead or antimony remaining on the surface is removed by etching the wafer in a mixture of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. A collector contact 22 of lead doped with gallium is alloyed to the lower face of the wafer. An emitter ring 23 of lead doped with 0À8% gallium and 1À2% antimony is alloyed to the upper surface of the wafer so that the molten alloyed region extends through the regrown layer 26. The temperature is then reduced to allow a small amount of regrowth and maintained at this level for a sufficient time to allow the antimony, which has a higher diffusion constant than gallium, to diffuse out of the alloyed emitter region to form a thin N-type base region 27 connected to alloyed region 26. During the diffusion gallium and antimony evaporate from the emitter and form a very thin P-type layer and a thicker N-type layer in the exposed surfaces of the wafer. This thin P-type layer is removed using a light chemical etch and circular base contact 24 and annular base contact 25, both of lead doped with antimony, are then alloyed to layer 26. The surface of the base region is masked with wax and the collector is subjected to an electrolytic or chemical etch. The wax is removed and the base region etched lightly to clean the emitter junction. The device is washed in deionized water and encapsulated in the hermetically sealed housing shown in Fig. 1. Contact 22 is joined to the mounting base 13, the conducting strap 15 is joined to emitter contact 23 at two plates, and conducting strap 16 is joined to base contact 25 and has an arch 17 which makes contact with the central base contact 24. The housing is filled with nitrogen before it is sealed. Typical characteristics of the transistor are given.
