    摘要: A self-aligned bipolar transistor and method of fabricating the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a substrate and an intrinsic base are provided, followed by a first oxide layer, and an extrinsic base over the first oxide layer. A first opening is formed, exposing a portion of a surface of the extrinsic base. Sidewall spacers are formed in the first opening, and a self-aligned oxide mask is selectively formed on the exposed surface of the extrinsic base. The spacers are removed, and using the self-aligned oxide mask, the exposed extrinsic base and the first oxide layer are etched to expose the intrinsic base layer, forming a first and a second slot. A silicon layer stripe is selectively grown on the exposed intrinsic and/or extrinsic base layers in each of the first and second slots, substantially filling the respective slot.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of an improved transistor structure (e.g., a bipolar transistor (BT) structure or heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) structure) and a method of forming the transistor structure. The structure embodiments can incorporate a dielectric layer sandwiched between an intrinsic base layer and a raised extrinsic base layer to reduce collector-base capacitance Ccb, a sidewall-defined conductive strap for an intrinsic base layer to extrinsic base layer link-up region to reduce base resistance Rb and a dielectric spacer between the extrinsic base layer and an emitter layer to reduce base-emitter Cbe capacitance. The method embodiments allow for self-aligning of the emitter to base regions and further allow the geometries of different features (e.g., the thickness of the dielectric layer, the width of the conductive strap, the width of the dielectric spacer and the width of the emitter layer) to be selectively adjusted in order to optimize transistor performance.

    摘要: A photomask that is used as a light filter in an exposure system is made of at least one layer of material comprising one or more transparent regions and one or more non-transparent regions. The difference between the transparent regions and the non-transparent regions defines the features that will be illuminated by the exposure system on a photoresist that will be exposed using the exposure system. The features comprise one or more device shapes and at least one sub-lithographic shape that will be exposed upon the photoresist. The sub-lithographic shape has an sub-lithographic shape size that is limited in such a way that the sub-lithographic shape causes a physical change only in a surface of the photoresist. Therefore, because the sub-lithographic shape is so small, it avoids forming an opening through the photoresist after the photoresist is developed and only causes a change on the surface of the photoresist.
