摘要:
Disclosed are a transistor (e.g., bipolar junction transistor (BJT) or a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT)) and a method of forming the transistor with a narrow in-substrate collector region for reduced base-collector junction capacitance. The transistor has, within a substrate, a collector region positioned laterally adjacent to a trench isolation region. A relatively thin seed layer covers the trench isolation region and collector region. This seed layer has a monocrystalline center, which is aligned above and wider than the collector region (e.g., due to a solid phase epitaxy regrowth process), and a polycrystalline outer section. An intrinsic base layer is epitaxially deposited on the seed layer such that it similarly has a monocrystalline center section that is aligned above and wider than the collector region. An extrinsic base layer is the intrinsic base layer and has a monocrystalline extrinsic base-to-intrinsic base link-up region that is offset vertically from the collector region.

A method of forming an integrated circuit structure implants a first compensating implant into a substrate. The method patterns a mask on the first compensating implant in the substrate. The mask includes an opening exposing a channel location of the substrate. The method implants a second compensating implant into the channel location of the substrate. The second compensating implant is made through the opening in the mask and at an angle that is offset from perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate. The second compensating implant is positioned closer to a first side of the channel location relative to an opposite second side of the channel location and the second compensating implant comprises a material having the same doping polarity as the semiconductor channel implant. Then, the method forms a gate conductor above the channel location of the substrate in the opening of the mask.

Disclosed are a transistor and a method of forming the transistor with a raised collector pedestal in reduced dimension for reduced base-collector junction capacitance. The raised collector pedestal is on the top surface of a substrate, extends vertically through dielectric layer(s), is un-doped or low-doped, is aligned above a sub-collector region contained within the substrate and is narrower than that sub-collector region. An intrinsic base layer is above the raised collector pedestal and the dielectric layer(s). An extrinsic base layer is above the intrinsic base layer. Thus, the space between the extrinsic base layer and the sub-collector region is increased. This increased space is filled by dielectric material and the electrical connection between the intrinsic base layer and the sub-collector region is provided by the relatively narrow, un-doped or low-doped, raised collector pedestal. Consequently, base-collector junction capacitance is reduced and, consequently, the maximum oscillation frequency is increased.

A MIM capacitor includes a dielectric cap that enhances performance and reduces damage to MIM insulators during manufacture. A cavity is formed in an insulative substrate, such as a back end of line dielectric layer, and a first metal layer and an insulator layer are conformally deposited. A second metal layer may be deposited conformally and/or to fill a remaining portion of the cavity. The dielectric cap may be an extra layer of insulative material deposited at ends of the insulator at an opening of the cavity and may also be formed as part of the insulator layer.

Disclosed is a buffer pixel cell comprising a barrier region for preventing stray charge carriers from arriving at a dark current correction pixel cell. The buffer pixel cell is located in the vicinity of the dark current correction pixel cell and the buffer pixel cell resembles an active pixel cell. Thus, an environment surrounding the dark current correction pixel cell is similar to the environment surrounding an active pixel cell.

The device of the present invention utilizes the holes produced by impinging photons in a pixel sensor cell circuit. A pixel sensor cell having reduced complexity includes an n-type collection well region formed beneath a surface of a substrate for collecting electrons generated by electromagnetic radiation impinging on the pixel sensor cell and a p-type collection well region formed beneath the surface of the substrate for collecting holes generated by the impinging photons. A circuit structure having a first input is coupled to the n-type collection well region and a second input is coupled to the p-type collection well region, wherein an output signal of the pixel sensor cell is the magnitude of the difference of a signal of the first input and a signal of the second input.
