Abstract

See full text

An integrated bridge device includes at least two arms, each of which is formed of a first and second diode connected transistor in series. The device is formed in an N+ substrate, which forms a positive output terminal. N- and N type epitaxial layers are formed over the substrate, and P and P+ regions are formed therein for each of the aforesaid arms. An N type region is contained within the P and P+ regions, and in turn contains a P type region forming a negative potential output terminal. Also included in the N type region are N++ regions capable of minimizing the current gain of parasitic transistors formed within the device.
