    Abstract: Disclosed is a structure and a method of forming the structure. The structure includes first and second semiconductor substrates with adjacent surfaces (e.g., bonded surfaces), a first spiral-shape metallic feature in the first semiconductor substrate, and a second spiral-shaped metallic feature in the second semiconductor substrate. The second spiral-shaped metallic feature is aligned above and electrically connected to the first spiral-shaped metallic feature. In some embodiments, the second spiral-shaped metallic feature is stacked on and immediately adjacent to the first spiral-shaped metallic feature at the bonded surfaces, thereby forming a relatively large inductor with high Qdc in a relatively small area. In other embodiments, the first and second spiral-shaped metallic features are discrete inductors located on opposite sides of the semiconductor substrates from the bonded surfaces but electrically connected in parallel (e.g., using stacked TSVs), effectively forming a relatively large inductor with a high Qdc in a relatively small area.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to a lateral bipolar transistor and methods of manufacture. The structure includes a lateral bipolar junction transistor including an extrinsic base region and a bilayer dielectric spacer on sidewalls of the extrinsic base region, and a p-n junction positioned under the bilayer dielectric spacer between the extrinsic base region and at least an emitter region.

    Abstract: A structure includes a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate including a semiconductor substrate, a buried insulator layer over the semiconductor substrate, and an SOI layer over the buried insulator layer. At least one polycrystalline active region fill shape is in the SOI layer. A polycrystalline isolation region may be in the semiconductor substrate under the buried insulator layer. The at least one polycrystalline active region fill shape is laterally aligned over the polycrystalline isolation region, where provided. Where provided, the polycrystalline isolation region may extend to different depths in the semiconductor substrate.
