  • Abstract
    An overview of integrated circuit fabrication basics is given. Materials for integrated circuits are discussed, and device structures and fabrication processes are examined. The growth in fabrication complexity is illustrated by comparing the classic junction-isolated bipolar technology with that of a state-of-the-art oxide isolated bipolar device. The basic processing steps are described. Advanced structures are briefly considered.
