    摘要: A bipolar transistor with raised extrinsic base and selectable self-alignment between the extrinsic base and the emitter is disclosed. The fabrication method may include the formation of a predefined thickness of a first extrinsic base layer of polysilicon or silicon on an intrinsic base. A dielectric landing pad is then formed by lithography on the first extrinsic base layer. Next, a second extrinsic base layer of polysilicon or silicon is formed on top of the dielectric landing pad to finalize the raised extrinsic base total thickness. An emitter opening is formed using lithography and RIE, where the second extrinsic base layer is etched stopping on the dielectric landing pad. The degree of self-alignment between the emitter and the raised extrinsic base is achieved by selecting the first extrinsic base layer thickness, the dielectric landing pad width, and the spacer width.

    摘要: A double-polysilicon, self-aligned bipolar transistor has a collector region formed in a doped semiconductor substrate, an intrinsic counterdoped base formed on the surface of the substrate and a doped emitter formed in the surface of the intrinsic base. Form an etch stop dielectric layer over the intrinsic base layer above the collector. Form a base contact layer of a conductive material over the etch stop dielectric layer and the intrinsic base layer. Form a second dielectric layer over the base contact layer. Etch a wide window through the dielectric layer and the base contact layer stopping the etching of the window at the etch stop dielectric layer. Form an island or a peninsula narrowing the wide window leaving at least one narrowed window within the wide window. Form sidewall spacers in the either the wide window or the narrowed window. Fill the windows with doped polysilicon to form an extrinsic emitter. Form an emitter below the extrinsic emitter in the surface of the intrinsic base.

    摘要: A double-polysilicon, self-aligned bipolar transistor has a collector region formed in a doped semiconductor substrate, an intrinsic counterdoped base formed on the surface of the substrate and a doped intrinsic emitter formed in the surface of the intrinsic base. An etch stop insulator layer overlies the intrinsic base layer above the collector. A base contact layer of a conductive material overlies the etch stop dielectric layer and the intrinsic base layer. A dielectric layer overlies the base contact layer. A wide window extends through the insulator layer and the base contact layer down to the insulator layer. An island or a peninsula is formed in the wide window leaving at least one narrowed window within the wide window, with sidewall spacers in either the wide window or the narrowed window. The narrowed windows are filled with doped polysilicon forming an extrinsic emitter with the intrinsic emitter formed below the extrinsic emitter in the surface of the intrinsic base.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of an improved transistor structure (e.g., a bipolar transistor (BT) structure or heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) structure) and a method of forming the transistor structure. The structure embodiments can incorporate a dielectric layer sandwiched between an intrinsic base layer and a raised extrinsic base layer to reduce collector-base capacitance Ccb, a sidewall-defined conductive strap for an intrinsic base layer to extrinsic base layer link-up region to reduce base resistance Rb and a dielectric spacer between the extrinsic base layer and an emitter layer to reduce base-emitter Cbe capacitance. The method embodiments allow for self-aligning of the emitter to base regions and further allow the geometries of different features (e.g., the thickness of the dielectric layer, the width of the conductive strap, the width of the dielectric spacer and the width of the emitter layer) to be selectively adjusted in order to optimize transistor performance.
