Abstract

1,152,464. Semi-conductor devices. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. 30 Aug., 1968 [8 Sept., 1965], No. 38309/65. Heading H1K. The gate region of an SCR comprises a major portion the junction between which portion and the cathode region is short circuited, and a minor portion to which the gate electrode is applied. The device is produced by lapping and etching an N-type silicon wafer, diffusing aluminium into the surfaces and driving-in the aluminium by heating in air to produce P-type layers, and then heating in phosphorus pentoxide vapour to produce N-type layers. The lower N-type layer is removed and the upper N-type layer, which forms the cathode region, is masked using black wax or a photo-resist and etched. As shown, Fig. F, the cathode region comprises a central mesa from which two arms extend to the edge of the wafer dividing the exposed annular peripheral part of the underlying gate region into a major portion 16a and a minor portion 16b. Boron is diffused into these exposed portions of the gate region to form P+ type surface regions. The junction between the minor peripheral portion 16b and the emitter region 14 is masked and the surface of the wafer is nickel plated and then gold plated to form a gate electrode on minor peripheral portion 16b of the gate region and a cathode electrode on region 14, this cathode electrode extending on to the major peripheral portion 16a of the gate region to short circuit the junction. A plurality of devices may be produced in a single wafer which is then subdivided and the anode regions of the individual devices are soldered to mounting studs.
