Abstract

See full text

A process is used to fabricate diodes having an emitter contacted p-n junction. A stack of n.sup.+ -type polysilicon layers are formed one upon the other upon a p-type silicon substrate. In an accordingly fabricated diode, native oxide layers that forms between the n.sup.+ -type polysilicon layer and the p-type substrate would be liable to be broken up, and thicker epitaxial layer would be formed between the same. The p-n junction is with a thickness of 0.05-0.2 .mu.m. As the diode is reverse-biased, for example at -5V, leakage current could be less than 1 n.ANG./cm.sup.2. The reverse-bias breakdown voltage could be larger than -100 V. When forward-biased, the ideality factor of the diode is close to unity.
