Abstract:
Device structures for a bipolar junction transistor. A layer is formed on a top surface of a substrate. A trench is formed in the layer and has a plurality of sidewalls with a width between an opposite pair of the sidewalls that varies with increasing distance from the top surface of the substrate. A collector pedestal of the bipolar junction transistor is formed in the trench.
Abstract:
Fabrication methods, device structures, and design structures for a bipolar junction transistor. A dielectric structure is formed that is coextensive with a single crystal semiconductor material of a substrate in an active device region. A semiconductor layer is formed that includes a single crystal section coupled with the active device region. The semiconductor layer has an edge that overlaps with a top surface of the dielectric structure. An intrinsic base layer is formed on the semiconductor layer.

Abstract:
Device structures and fabrication methods for a bipolar junction transistor. The device structure includes an intrinsic base, an emitter having a vertical arrangement relative to the intrinsic base, and a collector having a lateral arrangement relative to the intrinsic base. The device structure may be fabricated by forming the intrinsic base and the collector in a semiconductor layer, and epitaxially growing the emitter on the intrinsic base and with a vertical arrangement relative to the intrinsic base. The collector and the intrinsic base have a lateral arrangement within the semiconductor layer.
Abstract:
Bulk acoustic wave filters and/or bulk acoustic resonators integrated with CMOS devices, methods of manufacture and design structure are provided. The method includes forming a single crystalline beam from a silicon layer on an insulator. The method further includes providing a coating of insulator material over the single crystalline beam. The method further includes forming a via through the insulator material exposing a wafer underlying the insulator. The insulator material remains over the single crystalline beam. The method further includes providing a sacrificial material in the via and over the insulator material. The method further includes providing a lid on the sacrificial material. The method further includes venting, through the lid, the sacrificial material and a portion of the wafer under the single crystalline beam to form an upper cavity above the single crystalline beam and a lower cavity in the wafer, below the single crystalline beam.

Abstract:
Junction field-effect transistors and design structures for a junction field-effect transistor. A source and a drain of the junction field-effect transistor are comprised of a semiconductor material grown by selective epitaxy and in direct contact with a top surface of a semiconductor layer. A gate is formed that is aligned with a channel laterally disposed in the semiconductor layer between the source and the drain. The source, the drain, and the semiconductor layer are each comprised of a second semiconductor material having an opposite conductivity type from a first semiconductor material comprising the gate.
