                   sufficiently narrow to avoid lowering collector-base             
                   breakdown voltage and a dopant concentration                     
                   sufficiently high to restrict base widening when a               
                   base-emitter junction is forwarded(sic)biased;                   
              (c) forming a base; and                                               
              (d) forming an emitter.
