    Abstract: Device structures, fabrication methods, and design structures for a bipolar junction transistor. A trench isolation region is formed in a substrate. The trench isolation region is coextensive with a collector in the substrate. A base layer is formed on the collector and on a first portion of the trench isolation region. A dielectric layer is formed on the base layer and on a second portion of the trench isolation region peripheral to the base layer. After the dielectric layer is formed, the trench isolation region is at least partially removed to define an air gap beneath the dielectric layer and the base layer.

    Abstract: Structures that include an airgap and methods for forming a structure that includes an airgap. A layer stack is epitaxially grown on a substrate and includes a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer on a substrate. A plurality of openings are formed that extend through a device region of the first semiconductor layer to the second semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer is etched through the openings and selective to the substrate and the first semiconductor layer so as to form an airgap that is arranged in a vertical direction between the substrate and the device region. A device structure is formed in the device region of the first semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: Methods for designing and fabricating a current mirror. A first layout is received for a first back-end-of-line (BEOL) stack that is coupled with an emitter of a bipolar junction transistor in a current mirror that has a first current ratio. A second layout for a second back-end-of-line (BEOL) stack, which differs from the first BEOL stack, is determined such that, when the second BEOL stack is coupled with the emitter of the bipolar junction transistor, the first current ratio is changed to a second current ratio. The change from the first current ratio to the second current ratio, which is based on the change from the first layout for the first BEOL stack to the second layout for the second BEOL stack, is accomplished without changing a front-end-of-line (FEOL) layout of the bipolar junction transistor.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to optical via connections in chip-to-chip transmission in a 3D chip stack structure using an optical via, and methods of manufacture. The structure has a first wafer, including a first waveguide coupled to an optical resonator in the first wafer, and a second wafer, including a second waveguide, located over the first wafer. The structure also includes an optical via extending between the optical resonator of the first wafer and the second waveguide of the second wafer to optically couple the first and second waveguides.
