Integrated semiconductor with diode-resistor configuration - has pinch resistor with pinch doped region greater than cross=section of residual resistor doped region

摘要

The highly integrated semiconductor device is intended as a separating diode cooperating with selector lines of an integrated memory. The resistor (R) is of pinch-type whose pinch doping region (5) is greater than the cross sectional dimension of the resistor doping region (4). Simultaneously it forms a cathode connection doping region for the Schottky diode (D). Preferably the pinched doping region carries a connection contact (K) for the Schottky diode cathode terminal. This doped region is of identical conductivity as the surrounding semiconductor material (3), but of higher doping rate, sufficient to form an ohmic contact with a metal electrode on the region. On the resistance region (4) outside the pinch doping region is provided a metal contact (A), extending beyond the resistance region. -
