Abstract
An ISL structure is fabricated by a process in which impurities are introduced into a semiconductor substrate (10) of first type conductivity (P) to form major and minor portions (18 and 18a) of a first region of opposite second type conductivity (N). The minor portion has a lower net impurity concentration than the major portion and extends to a considerably lesser depth. An impurity is introduced into the major and minor portions to form a second region (24) of first type conductivity. An impurity is introduced into the second region to form a third region (30) of second type conductivity spaced laterally apart from the minor portion. Metallization is then performed to create at least one Schottky rectifying contact (32) with the major portion and ohmic contacts (38, 36, and 34) with the substrate and second and third regions.
