Abstract
A semiconductor device wherein surface stabilization is provided by a shallow layer of ion implanted doping material on the surface of the semiconductor and beneath the passivating oxide layer. One embodiment is a bipolar transistor including a collector region, a base region and an emitter region, the base region being provided with the shallow ion implanted layer at the surface thereof. Another embodiment is a zener diode device with an anode region and a cathode region, the cathode region being provided with the shallow ion implanted layer at the surface thereof. Another embodiment is a JFET with a gate region and a source and drain region and a channel region extending through the gate region between the source and drain regions, the channel region being provided with the shallow ion implanted layer at the surface thereof.
