Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to lateral bipolar transistors and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: an extrinsic base comprising semiconductor material; an intrinsic base comprising semiconductor material which is located below the extrinsic base; a polysilicon emitter on a first side of the extrinsic base; a raised collector on a second side of the extrinsic base; and sidewall spacers on the extrinsic base which separate the extrinsic base from the polysilicon emitter and the raised collector.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a lateral bipolar transistor structure with a superlattice layer and methods to form the same. The bipolar transistor structure may have a semiconductor layer of a first single crystal semiconductor material over an insulator layer. The semiconductor layer includes an intrinsic base region having a first doping type. An emitter/collector (E/C) region may be adjacent the intrinsic base region and may have a second doping type opposite the first doping type. A superlattice layer is on the E/C region of the semiconductor layer. A raised E/C terminal, including a single crystal semiconductor material, is on the superlattice layer. The superlattice layer separates the E/C region from the raised E/C terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit (IC) structure that includes a through-metal through-substrate interconnect. The interconnect extends essentially vertically through a device level metallic feature on a frontside of a substrate, extends downward from the device level metallic feature into or completely through the substrate (e.g., to contact a backside metallic feature below), and extends upward from the device level metallic feature through interlayer dielectric (ILD) material (e.g., to contact a BEOL metallic feature above). The device level metallic feature can be, for example, a metallic source/drain region of a transistor, such as a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) or a metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor (MISHEMT), which is formed on the frontside of the substrate. The backside metallic feature can be a grounded metal layer. The BEOL metallic feature can be a metal wire in one of the BEOL metal levels. Also disclosed is an associated method.

Abstract: Semiconductor device structures with substrate biasing, methods of forming a semiconductor device structure with substrate biasing, and methods of operating a semiconductor device structure with substrate biasing. A substrate contact is coupled to a portion of a bulk semiconductor substrate in a device region. The substrate contact is configured to be biased with a negative bias voltage. A field-effect transistor includes a semiconductor body in the device region of the bulk semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor body is electrically isolated from the portion of the bulk semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor structure embodiments of a semiconductor-on-insulator region on a bulk substrate. The semiconductor-on-insulator region includes an upper semiconductor layer above and physically separated from the substrate by insulator-containing cavities (e.g., by dielectric layer and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas, or under vacuum) and, optionally, by a lower semiconductor layer. Disclosed method embodiments include forming openings that extend vertically through the upper semiconductor layer, through a sacrificial semiconductor layer and, optionally, through a lower semiconductor layer to the substrate. Then, a selective isotropic etch process is performed to form cavities, which extend laterally off the sides of the openings into the sacrificial semiconductor layer. Depending upon the embodiments, different process steps are further performed to form plugs in at least the upper portions of the openings and insulators (including dielectric layers and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas or under vacuum) in the cavities.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure with a lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT). This semiconductor structure can be readily integrated into advanced silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology platforms. Furthermore, to maintain or improve upon performance characteristics (e.g., cut-off frequency (fT)/maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) and beta cut-off frequency) that would otherwise be negatively impacted due to changing of the orientation of the BJT from vertical to lateral, the semiconductor structure can further include a dielectric stress layer (e.g., a tensilely strained layer in the case of an NPN-type transistor or a compressively strained layer in the case of a PNP-type transistor) partially covering the lateral BJT for charge carrier mobility enhancement and the lateral BJT can be configured as a lateral heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT). Also disclosed is a method for forming the semiconductor structure.
