Abstract

1,068,200. Semi-conductor devices. INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER CORPORATION. Nov. 23, 1964 [Nov. 26, 1963], No. 47619/64. Heading H1K. A controlled rectifier leaving the structure shown is formed by taking an N-type silicon wafer, diffusively doping its entire surface to form a surrounding P-type layer, etching a depression 22 in one major surface of the P-type layer, epitaxially depositing N-type silicon in the depression, and finally removing the P-type material from the periphery of the wafer. Subsequently electrodes are applied: an alloyed-on gold or gold-antimony foil to the epitaxial layer; an alloyed on three layer electrode to the base of the wafer, consisting of layers of aluminium-silicon alloy, molybdenum and silver; and a wire constituting a gate electrode to the P-type region surrounding the epitaxial layer in the depression. An annular groove 70 (Fig. 13, not shown) may be etched in the upper surface of the wafer and cut through the wafer junctions in the manner described in Specification 1,068,199.
