Abstract

A process is disclosed which simultaneously forms high quality complementary bipolar transistors, relatively high voltage CMOS transistors, relatively low voltage CMOS transistors, DMOS transistors, zener diodes and thin-film resistors, or any desired combination of these, all on the same integrated circuit chip. The process uses a small number of masking steps, forms high performance transistor structures, and results in a high yield of functioning die. Isolation structures, bipolar transistor structures, CMOS transistor structures, DMOS transistor structures, zener diode structures, and thin-film resistor structures are also disclosed.
