Abstract
A high density semiconductor structure and method is disclosed including a semiconductor body of one conductivity having a substantially planar surface. A first region of one conductivity is formed in the body and extends to the surface. A layer of opposite conductivity is interposed between the first region and the body said layer having relatively thin and uniform walls which extend to separate the first region from the body. At least one opposite conductivity region is formed entirely within the first region and extends to the surface. An opposite conductivity region is formed in the body and overlaps a portion of the layer. Lead means are provided for contacting each of the respctive regions and the body. The collector-up injection logic structure thus formed requires little or no surface area for the injection source transistor.
