Abstract
A junction-isolated monolithic integrated circuit device has its component elements connected in a circuit configuration such that at least one of the isolation PN junctions may be forward-biased at least part of the time, while other isolation junctions remain reverse-biased. To prevent detrimental parasitic transistor action which may result from the injection of carriers across a forward-biased isolation junction, means are provided for collecting those carriers at a location close to the injecting junction.
