Abstract: Body-contacted semiconductor structures and methods of forming a body-contacted semiconductor structure. A semiconductor substrate, which contains of a single-crystal semiconductor material, includes a device region and a plurality of body contact regions each comprised of the single-crystal semiconductor material. A polycrystalline layer and polycrystalline regions are formed in the semiconductor substrate. The polycrystalline regions are positioned between the polycrystalline layer and the device region, and the polycrystalline regions have a laterally-spaced arrangement with a gap between each adjacent pair of the polycrystalline regions. One of the plurality of body contact regions is arranged in the gap between each adjacent pair of the polycrystalline regions.

Abstract: Structures including electrical isolation and methods of forming a structure including electrical isolation. A semiconductor layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate and shallow trench isolation regions are formed in the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer includes single-crystal semiconductor material having an electrical resistivity that is greater than or equal to 1000 ohm-cm. The shallow trench isolation regions are arranged to surround a portion of the semiconductor layer to define an active device region. A polycrystalline layer is positioned in the semiconductor layer and extends laterally beneath the active device region and the shallow trench isolation regions that surround the active device region.

Abstract: Structures for a heterojunction bipolar transistor and methods of forming a structure for a heterojunction bipolar transistor. A first heterojunction bipolar transistor includes a first emitter, a first collector, and a first base layer having a portion positioned between the first emitter and the first collector. A second heterojunction bipolar transistor includes a second emitter, a second collector, and a second base layer having a portion positioned between the second emitter and the second collector. The first and second base layers each comprise silicon-germanium, the first base layer includes a first germanium profile, and the second base layer includes a second germanium profile that is identical to the first germanium profile.
