摘要:
An improved bipolar transistor with dual shallow trench isolation for reducing the parasitic component of the base to collector capacitance Ccb and base resistance Rb is provided. The structure includes a semiconductor substrate having at least a pair of neighboring first shallow trench isolation (STI) regions disposed therein. The pair of neighboring first STI regions defines an active area in the substrate. The structure also includes a collector disposed in the in the active area of the semiconductor substrate, a base layer disposed atop a surface of the semiconductor substrate in the active area, and a raised extrinsic base disposed on the base layer. In accordance with the present, the raised extrinsic base has an opening to a portion of the base layer. An emitter is located in the opening and extending on a portion of the patterned raised extrinsic base; the emitter is spaced apart and isolated from the raised extrinsic base. Moreover, and in addition to the first STI region, a second shallow trench isolation (STI) region is present in the semiconductor substrate which extends inward from each pair of said first shallow trench isolation regions towards said collector. The second STI region has an inner sidewall surface that is sloped. In some embodiments, the base is completely monocrystalline.
摘要:
High performance bipolar transistors with raised extrinsic self-aligned base are integrated into a BiCMOS structure containing CMOS devices. By forming pad layers and raising the height of an intrinsic base layer relative to the source and drain of preexisting CMOS devices and by forming an extrinsic base through selective epitaxy, the effect of topographical variations is minimized during a lithographic patterning of the extrinsic base. Also, by not employing any chemical mechanical planarization process during the fabrication of the bipolar structures, complexity of process integration is reduced. Internal spacers or external spacers may be formed to isolate the base from the emitter. The pad layers, the intrinsic base layer, and the extrinsic base layer form a mesa structure with coincident outer sidewall surfaces.
