Abstract
A method for fabricating both bipolar as well as complementary MOS field effect transistors, i.e., BI-CMOS transistors in the same semiconductor substrate. The preferred embodiment of the method provides bipolar and CMOS transistors having breakdown voltages (BV.sub.ceo) in excess of 10 volts and CMOS devices having no latchup problems, with a minimum number of processing steps. The method also contemplates the formation of auxiliary devices such as resistors and Schottky Barrier diodes.
