Abstract :
One approach to high-density integration is to use distributed circuits in common epitaxial regions. It is possible to use buried-layer paths and lateral PNP bases for data flow, greatly reducing the number of metal-to-silicon contacts. A complete 4-decade counter, each decade having a buffer memory and a D/A output converter, has been fabricated on a 60-mil die.
