Abstract: Structures including a photodiode and methods of fabricating such structures. A trench extends from a top surface of a substrate to a depth into the substrate. The photodiode includes an active layer positioned in the trench. Trench isolation regions, which are located in the substrate, are arranged to surround the trench. A portion of the substrate is positioned in a surrounding relationship about the active layer and between the active layer and the trench isolation 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 that include bipolar junction transistors and methods of forming such structures. The structure comprises a semiconductor layer, a substrate, and a dielectric layer disposed between the semiconductor layer and the substrate. The structure further comprises a first bipolar junction transistor including a first collector in the substrate, a first emitter, and a first base layer. The first base layer extends through the dielectric layer from the first emitter to the first collector. The structure further comprises a second bipolar junction transistor including a second collector in the substrate, a second emitter, and a second base layer. The second base layer extends through the dielectric layer from the second emitter to the second collector. The second base layer is connected to the first base layer by a section of the semiconductor layer to define a base line.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a lateral bipolar transistor structure with a base layer over a semiconductor buffer, and related methods. A lateral bipolar transistor structure may include an emitter/collector (E/C) layer over an insulator. The E/C layer has a first doping type. A semiconductor buffer is adjacent the insulator. A base layer is on the semiconductor buffer and adjacent the E/C layer, the base layer including a lower surface below the E/C layer and an upper surface above the E/C layer. The base layer has a second doping type opposite the first doping type.
