摘要:
A method includes forming a base layer on a top surface of a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on exposed surfaces of the base layer. A hardmask layer is formed on the base layer and the dielectric layer. A pattern is formed from the hardmask with a first opening and a second opening. Portions of a dielectric layer are removed from the top surface of the base layer at positions consistent with the pattern of the first opening and the second opening to form exposed surfaces defined as a first window and a second window in the dielectric layer. Deposits of a dopant-containing layer are limited on the exposed surfaces of: a first portion on the top surface of the base layer inside of the first window, and a second portion on the top surface of the base layer inside of the second window.

Device structure and fabrication methods for a bipolar junction transistor. A base layer is formed and an emitter is formed on a first portion of the base layer. A dopant-containing layer is deposited on a second portion of the base layer. Dopant is transferred from the dopant-containing layer into the second portion of the base layer to define an extrinsic base of the device structure.

Semiconductor devices with enhanced electromigration performance and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming at least one metal line in electrical contact with a device. The method further includes forming at least one staple structure in electrical contact with the at least one metal line. The at least one staple structure is formed such that electrical current passing through the at least one metal line also passes through the at least staple structure to reduce electromigration issues.

Device structures for a bipolar junction transistor. The device structure includes a collector region, an intrinsic base formed on the collector region, an emitter coupled with the intrinsic base and separated from the collector by the intrinsic base, and an isolation region extending through the intrinsic base to the collector region. The isolation region is formed with a first section having first sidewalls that extend through the intrinsic base and a second section with second sidewalls that extend into the collector region. The second sidewalls are inclined relative to the first sidewalls. The isolation region is positioned in a trench that is formed with first and second etching process in which the latter etches different crystallographic directions of a single-crystal semiconductor material at different etch rates.

Lateral PNP bipolar junction transistors and design structures for a lateral PNP bipolar junction transistor. An emitter and a collector of the lateral PNP bipolar junction transistor are comprised of p-type semiconductor material that is formed by a selective epitaxial growth process. The source and drain each directly contact a top surface of a device region used to form the emitter and collector. A base contact may be formed on the top surface and overlies an n-type base defined within the device region. The emitter is laterally separated from the collector by the base contact. Another base contact may be formed in the device region that is separated from the other base contact by the base.

Fabrication methods, device structures, and design structures for a bipolar junction transistor. A dielectric structure is formed that is coextensive with a single crystal semiconductor material of a substrate in an active device region. A semiconductor layer is formed that includes a single crystal section coupled with the active device region. The semiconductor layer has an edge that overlaps with a top surface of the dielectric structure. An intrinsic base layer is formed on the semiconductor layer.

A method of forming a heterojunction bipolar transistor. The method includes providing a structure comprising at least an intrinsic base region and an emitter pedestal region. A stack is formed on the intrinsic base region. The stack comprises a polysilicon layer and a top sacrificial oxide layer. A trench is formed in the structure. The trench circumscribes the intrinsic base region and the stack. An extrinsic base is formed at two regions around the stack. The extrinsic base is formed by a selective epitaxial growth process to create a bridge over the trench. The bridge connects the two regions. An opening is provided in the stack. The opening exposes a portion of the intrinsic base region. An emitter is formed in the opening.
