Abstract
A gallium arsenide integrated circuit structure is disclosed wherein each transistor has only two of three terminals exposed at the semiconductor surface, thereby decreasing both the area of the structure and parasitic wiring capacitance. A dielectric buried layer overlies a portion of the substrate and isolates a first region from the remaining chip. This first region serves as common terminals of two or more transistors. Aluminum gallium arsenide is formed both above and below the base region for increasing the efficiency of the junction by eliminating the need for a heavily doped emitters, thereby allowing for symmetry of emitter and collector regions both on the semiconductor surface and below.
