Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a proces for making a bipolar-CMOS circuit which includes a NMOS transistor site (18) electrically isolated from a bipolar transistor site (16). The NMOS transistor site (18) includes a semiconductor region (24) isolated from a bipolar transistor well (26) by deep diffusion ring (32). A buried layer (13) forms a bottom of the deep diffusion isolation ring (32). A backgate voltage can be applied to the isolated semiconductor region (24) of the NMOS device, which bias may be different than that applied to the substrate (10). Optimum performance of the NMOS transistor is thus assured irrespective of the magnitude of operating voltage of the bipolar transistor.
