Abstract of the Disclosure

A double diffused, lateral PNP structure is disclosed which may be formed simultaneously with a vertical NPN structure. The novel feature of the structure is believed to be the vertical projection of the N-type base region for the PNP, down through surrounding diffused P-type collector and into an N-type epitaxial layer between the collector diffusion and buried subbase, an N-type sub-base to electrically contact the base. The N-type epitaxial layer serves as the intrinsic base region permitting contact with the surface. The double diffused base and emitter structure permits a precise intrinsic base width to be formed for lateral PNP. Thus, a high performance PNP can be constructed with compatible high performance NPNs on the same substrate.
