The first bipolar transistor structure has a doped tank region in contact with a doped tank region located underneath a contacting sinker. The second bipolar transistor structure has a doped buried region that is the same dopant type as its doped tank region. A method for fabricating an integrated semiconductor structure in a bulk semiconductor wafer. A first patterned photomask is used to form a doped buried region and a doped tank region within the first bipolar transistor structure. A second patterned photomask is used to form a doped buried region and a doped tank region within the second bipolar transistor, plus a doped buried region and a doped tank region underneath a contacting sinker adjacent to the first bipolar transistor.

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a first and second bipolar devices of the same dopant type includes: depositing a dielectric layer over a semiconductor layer, depositing a gate conductor layer over the dielectric layer, defining base regions of both bipolar devices, removing the gate conductor layer and dielectric layer in the base regions, depositing a base layer on the gate conductor layer and on the exposed semiconductor layer in the base regions, depositing an insulating layer over the base layer, forming a photoresist layer and defining emitter regions of both bipolar devices, removing the photoresist layer in the emitter regions thereby forming two emitter windows, masking the emitter window of the first bipolar device and exposing the base layer in the base region of the second bipolar device to an additional emitter implant through the associated emitter window.

A method of producing a vertical bipolar PNP transistor is disclosed. The phosphorous profile in the base layer is controlled. Carbon that is incorporated in the base layer in the vicinity of the base-collector junction suppresses the diffusion of phosphorous deeper than implanted in a subsequent thermal step. PNP transistors with a narrow phosphorous-doped base can thus be manufactured with a cut-off frequency increased from 23 GHz to 30 GHz.

An junction field effect transistor (JFET) is fashioned with a patterned layer of silicide block (SBLK) material utilized in forming gate, source and drain regions. Utilizing the silicide block in this manner helps to reduce low-frequency (flicker) noise associated with the JFET by suppressing the impact of surface states, among other things.

The disclosure herein pertains to fashioning an n channel junction field effect transistor (NJFET) and/or a p channel junction field effect transistor (PJFET) with an open drain, where the open drain allows the transistors to operate at higher voltages before experiencing gate leakage current. The open drain allows the voltage to be increased several fold without increasing the size of the transistors. Opening the drain essentially spreads equipotential lines of respective electric fields developed at the drains of the devices so that the local electric fields, and hence the impact ionization rates are reduced to redirect current below the surface of the transistors.
