Abstract

A transistor structure has a recess formed in the upper surface of its base layer, an epitaxial (epi) layer grown on the upper surface in a manner to create a surface depression in the outer surface of the epi layer, the surface depression being generally aligned with the recess. A semiconductor element, such as a well or a gate, is formed on the epi layer aligned with the recess.
