    摘要: A raised extrinsic base, silicon germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), and a method of making the same is disclosed herein. The heterojunction bipolar transistor includes a substrate, a silicon germanium layer formed on the substrate, a collector layer formed on the substrate, a raised extrinsic base layer formed on the silicon germanium layer, and an emitter layer formed on the silicon germanium layer. The silicon germanium layer forms a heterojunction between the emitter layer and the raised extrinsic base layer. The bipolar transistor further includes a base electrode formed on a portion of the raised extrinsic base layer, a collector electrode formed on a portion of the collector layer, and an emitter electrode formed on a portion of the emitter layer. Thus, the heterojunction bipolar transistor includes a self-aligned raised extrinsic base, a minimal junction depth, and minimal interstitial defects influencing the base width, all being formed with minimal thermal processing. The heterojunction bipolar transistor simultaneously improves three factors that affect the speed and performance of bipolar transistors: base width, base resistance, and base-collector capacitance.

    摘要: The invention includes a method and resulting structure for fabricating high performance vertical NPN and PNP transistors for use in BiCMOS devices. The resulting high performance vertical PNP transistor includes an emitter region including silicon and germanium, and has its PNP emitter sharing a single layer of silicon with the NPN transistor's base. The method adds two additional masking steps to conventional fabrication processes for CMOS and bipolar devices, thus representing minor additions to the entire process flow. The resulting structure significantly enhances PNP device performance.

    摘要: Undesirable Steiner points in tetrahedralized meshes may be minimized by tetrahedralization processes that order element subdivision based on degree of freedom data for elements in the mesh and/or treat element degree of freedom as non-static during element subdivision. Applying look-ahead, breadth-first-search subdivision, and other strategic subdivision techniques further minimizes the need for Steiner points.

    摘要: A photosensitive device includes an array of active pixel sensor devices, each APS device being formed in an isolated cell of silicon. Each cell has an insulating barrier around it, and sits upon an insulating layer formed on an underlying substrate. A semiconductor connector making vertical contact between the pinning layer and the body of each APS device preferably replaces at least some portion of the insulating barrier adjacent to each cell. The semiconductor connector may be a single vertical connection for each cell or it may be an elongated strip connecting multiple APS devices. It may extend only to the underlying insulating layer or it may extend through the insulating layer to the substrate, with the substrate acting to interconnect and ground the pinning layer and the body of each APS device. The invention also includes the method of making the photosensitive device.

    摘要: A method for making a non-self-aligned, heterojunction bipolar transistor includes forming extrinsic base regions with a PFET source/drain implant aligned with the polysilicon in an emitter stack but which are not directly aligned with an emitter opening defined in that stack. This is achieved by making the emitter pedestal wider than the emitter opening. This advantageously removes the dependency of alignment between the extrinsic base regions and the emitter opening, thereby resulting in fewer process steps, reduced thermal cycles, and improved speed.
