Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device comprises steps for forming recesses which can be used in the subsequent visual alignment of photomasks. The novel recess forming steps are so linked with a conventional processing step that the total number of steps required for the formation of the recesses is reduced. The present method is particularly adaptable to the fabrication of unisurface silicon controlled rectifiers wherein a doped isolation-type grid is formed to define each device.
