摘要:
A method to improve the characteristics of bipolar silicon high-frequency transistor by adding indium into the base of the transistor is described. Instead of replacing boron in the base with indium to improve the beta-Early voltage product, at the price of high beta and high base resistance, separate boron and indium doping profiles are combined in the base. Thus, a transistor, which preserves most of the properties of pure boron-base transistor, is obtained, but with some parameters improved due to the added indium profile. This 'double-profile' or 'indium-enhanced' transistor exhibits improved beta-Early voltage product, reduced collector-base capacitance swing and lower temperature dependence of beta, but preserves the advantageous properties of a pure boron-base transistor. For this to work satisfactory, the indium profile must be contained within the boron profile in such a way that the beta and the effective base width are not significantly affected, otherwise the high frequency properties will be degraded. A typical process for fabricating a bipolar silicon high frequency NPN transistor together with some recorded parameters highlighting the benefits of an additional indium implant is presented.
摘要:
The invention relates to a bipolar transistor and a method for producing same. The aim of the invention is to provide a bipolar transistor and a method for producing same, which during the use of a single-process poly-silicon technology with differential epitaxis for the production of bases overcomes the disadvantages of conventional systems, so as notably further to improve the high-speed properties of a bipolar transistor, provide highly conductive connections between the metal contacts and the active (internal) transistor region and a minimized passive transistor surface while at the same time avoiding greater process complexity and increased contact resistances. To this end, by creating suitable epitaxis conditions a poly-silicon layer is deposited on the insulating area which is thicker than the epitaxis layer in the active transistor area. The greater thickness of the poly-silicon layer in relation to the epitaxis layer is achieved through the use of a very low temperature for the deposition of part or all of the buffer layer. Th use of a very low deposition temperature results in improved seeding of the insulating layer and a reduction in the deposition dead time, which makes it possible to produce a thicker layer on the insulating layer than in the active transistor area.

The invention relates to the manufacture of a so-called differential bipolar transistor comprising a base (1A), an emitter (2) and a collector (3), the base (1A) being formed by applying a doped semiconducting layer (1) which locally borders on a monocrystalline part (3) of the semiconductor body (10) where it forms the (monocrystalline) base (1A), and which semiconducting layer (1) borders, outside said monocrystalline part, on a non-monocrystalline part (4, 8) of the semiconductor body (10) where it forms a (non-monocrystalline) connecting region (1B) of the base (1A). In a method in accordance with the invention, the polycrystalline layer (4) is selectively provided on the electrically insulating region (8), in which process use is made of the mask (20) to form the electrically insulating region (8). This method is less laborious than the known method. In addition, the resultant transistors have excellent properties and their dimensions may be very small. Preferably, both in the manufacture of the insulating region (8), preferably an oxide-filled groove (8), and in the process of selectively applying the polycrystalline layer (4) to the insulating region, use is made of a deposition step followed by a chemico-mechanical polishing step.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a discrete or integrated bipolar transistor comprising a base (1A), an emitter (2) and a collector (3). The base (1A) and a connecting region (1B) of the base (1A) are formed by providing a semiconductor body (10) with a doped semiconducting layer (1) which locally borders on a monocrystalline part (3) of the semiconductor body which forms the collector (3). Outside said base, the layer (1) borders on a non-monocrystalline part (4) of the semiconductor body (10) and forms a non-monocrystalline connecting region (1B) of the base (1A). By means of a mask (5), the doping concentration of the layer (1) outside the mask (5) is selectively increased, resulting in a highly conducting connection region (1B) and a very fast transistor. In the known method, an ion implantation is used for this purpose. In a method in accordance with the invention, this is achieved by bringing the semiconductor body (10) into contact with a gaseous substance (40) comprising a doping element, and heating the semiconductor body (10) in such a manner that the doping elements penetrate into the semiconducting layer (1). The supply of the gaseous substance (40), for example diborane, preferably takes place at a temperature between 800 and 950 °C for one to several minutes. Subsequently, a slightly longer diffusion step can be carried out, for example, at 850 °C.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device including a bipolar transistor formed by epitaxial growth or ion implantation is provided. The bipolar transistor has an epitaxial silicon collector layer, a base region directly under an emitter defined as an intrinsic base and a peripheral region thereof defined as an outer base region. The method comprises the step of implanting ions into the collector layer to form a high concentration collector region at a location close to a buried region with using a photoresist used to form an aperture. The method further comprises the step of implanting ions into the collector layer to form a high concentration collector region directly beneath the base region after forming the base region.
