Method to reduce seedlayer topography in BICMOS process
摘要:
A method for forming an epitaxial base layer in a bipolar device. The method comprises the steps of: providing a structure having a field isolation oxide region (12) adjacent to an active silicon region (10); forming a silicon nitride/silicon stack (14, 16) above the field isolation oxide region (12), wherein the silicon nitride/silicon stack (14, 16) includes a top layer of silicon (14) and a bottom layer of silicon nitride (16); performing an etch to the silicon nitride/silicon stack (14, 16) to form a stepped seed layer, wherein the top layer of silicon is etched laterally at the same time the bottom layer of silicon nitride is etched; and growing an Si/SiGe/Si stack (20) over the stepped seed layer and active region (10).
