Abstract
Disclosed are improved field-effect and bipolar semiconductor devices and the method of making them, wherein maximum junction control provides highly predictable device parameters. Low temperature epitaxial depositions provide tight junction thickness and resistivity control, and an orientation dependent etch forms grooves circumscribing portions of the host substrate and overlying epitaxial layers to provide dielectrically isolated single crystalline mesas utilized in forming electronic devices.
