Abstract
A lateral PNP bipolar electronic device integrated monolithically on a semiconductor substrate together with other NPN bipolar devices capable of being operated at high frequencies. The PNP device is incorporated to an electrically insulated multilayer structure which comprises a semiconductor substrate, doped for conductivity of the P-type, a first buried layer, doped for conductivity of the N-type to provide a base region, and a second layer, overlying the first and having conductivity of the N-type, to provide an active area distinguishable by a P-doped emitter region within the active area being located peripherally and oppositely from a P-doped collector region. The lateral PNP device can be operated at high frequencies with suitable collector current values and good amplification, to provide a superior figure of merit compared to that typical of conventional lateral PNP devices.
