Abstract

An improved method is described for constructing one or more integrated circuit components including bipolar and MOS devices on a silicon substrate without damaging areas of the substrate wherein active elements of the integrated circuit components will be formed. The method comprises forming multilayer pedestals of masking materials over the active regions of the substrate and subsequently removing these masking materials using wet etching to avoid damage to the substrate by dry etching.
