摘要:
A lateral heterojunction bipolar transistor is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate including a top semiconductor portion of a first semiconductor material having a first band gap and a doping of a first conductivity type. A stack of an extrinsic base and a base cap is formed such that the stack straddles over the top semiconductor portion. A dielectric spacer is formed around the stack. Ion implantation of dopants of a second conductivity type is performed to dope regions of the top semiconductor portion that are not masked by the stack and the dielectric spacer, thereby forming an emitter region and a collector region. A second semiconductor material having a second band gap greater than the first band gap and having a doping of the second conductivity type is selectively deposited on the emitter region and the collector region to form an emitter contact region and a collector contact region, respectively.

摘要:
A cluster system controls the interface properties of the films that deposit or grow on a silicon substrate. The system comprises a plurality of horizontal quartz chamber or tubes each of which can hold a large quantity of wafers, a transfer chamber and a load/unload chamber. Several process steps can be executed sequentially in different tubes without intermediate exposure to ambient air. A transfer chamber connects them and allows wafer transportation from one tube to another in an absolute controlled UHV environment which limits any contamination such as H2O, to less than a monolayer level. In addition, each tube can be pumped down to UHV pressure regime to avoid further cross contamination between tubes or particle generation. Since some of the process requires elevated temperature, all wafers are placed vertically on the quartz boat to prevent any wafer sagging as in a vertical furnace. Furthermore, before any wafers are placed into the transfer chamber, they are loaded into a load/unload chamber, which is the sole connection to the ambient air, to be purged and pumped so as to minimize particles and contamination.
摘要:
A germanium lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is formed employing a germanium-on-insulator (GOI) substrate. A silicon passivation layer is deposited on the top surface of a germanium layer in the GOI substrate. Shallow trench isolation structures, an extrinsic base region structure, and a base spacer are subsequently formed. A germanium emitter region, a germanium base region, and a germanium collector region are formed within the germanium layer by ion implantation. A silicon emitter region, a silicon base region, and a silicon collector region are formed in the silicon passivation layer. After optional formation of an emitter contact region and a collector contact region, metal semiconductor alloy regions can be formed. A wide gap contact for minority carriers is provided between the silicon base region and the germanium base region and between the silicon emitter region and the germanium emitter region.
