摘要:
A bipolar transistor is provided in which the base-emitter junctions do not traverse the base but terminate inside the top surface of the base. The transistor has long emitter perimeter available for current flow and more than two emitter sides ( e.g. , three sides) available for current flow, which allows obtaining a low base resistance, a low emitter resistance, a low collector resistance, a low base-collector capacitance, and a small size.

A bipolar semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed, in which emitter, base and collector contacts are formed as self-aligned contacts. It is thus possible to realize a high speed, high density semiconductor device, which greatly reduces the element area, emitter-base, base-collector and collector-substrate capacitances and base and collector resistances.

Bipolar transistors having self-aligned emitter-base regions and a method of forming such transistors using selective and non-selective epitaxy are disclosed. A substrate (12) of semiconductor material of a first conductivity type, a portion of which forms a collector region is provided. A first layer (18) of semiconductor material of a second conductivity type is deposited on said substrate, a portion of which forms an intrinsic base region. Over a portion of said first layer (18) an element (30) of insulating material is formed. Said intrinsic base region is formed below said element (30) and the remainder of said first layer forms an extrinsic base region. A second layer (32) of semiconductor material of said second conductivity type is deposited on said first layer (18). A portion of said second layer laterally overgrows onto a portion of an upper surface (33) of said element (30) defining an aperture (29) and leaving an exposed region (31) on the upper surface (33). The second layer (32) forms a portion of the extrinsic base region. On said second layer (32) a layer (42) of insulating material is formed which narrows said aperture (29) and said exposed region (31) of said element (30). Said narrowed exposed region (31) of said element (30) is removed to expose a portion (50) of said first layer (21) below said aperture (29) and an emitter region (54) of said first conductivity type is formed in said first layer (21) through said aperture (44).
摘要:
Regions of the substrate which are to be the collector sinker and the active area of a bipolar transistor are isolated by forming a trench about them and filling it with a dielectric. The dielectric can be oxide formed in a LOCOS process. A dielectric body, which may be nitride, is formed on part of the active area, and base contacts implanted using it as a mask. Polysilicon is deposited over the whole and then cut to form future metallisation-to-base contacts. The dielectric body is removed and the base implanted through the resulting aperture. Oxide spacers are formed on the sidewall of the aperture and polysilicon deposited. The polysilicon is doped and used to produce the emitter by driving the dopant into the substrate between the oxide spacers.

摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen strukturierten Halbleiterkörper auf der Grundlage eines Si-Substrates mit Sperrbereichen, die polykristallines Silizium enthalten und die durch ein Si-MBE-Verfahren erzeugt sind. Die Sperrbereiche werden zu einer Abgrenzung von einkristallinen Si-Halbleiterstrukturen benötigt. Da die Sperrbereiche eine wesentlich geringere elektrische Leitfähigkeit besitzen als die einkristallinen Bereiche, ist es möglich den Sperrbereich räumlich selektiv so zu dotieren, daß zum angrenzenden Halbleiterbereich ein pn-Übergang entsteht, der z.B. als Emitteranschluß nutzbar ist.
摘要:
A vertical bipolar transistor is fabricated in a semiconductor substrate without an epitaxial layer using oxide isolation and ion implantation techniques. ion implantation energies in the KEV ranges are used to implant selected ions into the substrate to form a collector region and buried collector layer less than 1 micron from the surface of the device, and then to form a base region of opposite conductivity type in the collector layer and an emitter region of the first conductivity type in the base region. Even though ion implantation techniques are used to form all regions, the base and the emitter regions can, if desired, be formed to abut the field oxide used to laterally define the islands of semiconductor material. The field oxide is formed to a thickness of less than 1 micron and typically to a thickness of approximately 0.4 microns, thereby substantially reducing the lateral oxidation of the semiconductor silicon islands and making possible devices of extremely small size, typically around 16-18 square microns. During the implantation of channel stop regions between the islands of semiconductor material a thin oxide layer is used to screen the underlying silicon from forming oxidation-induced stacking faults by the subsequent high dose field implantation and oxidation. A nitrogen anneal following this implantation and prior to forming the field oxide further reduces the frequency of stacking faults.
