摘要:
A method for removing silicon dioxide residuals is disclosed. The method includes reacting a portion of a silicon dioxide layer (i.e., oxide) to form a reaction product layer, removing the reaction product layer and annealing in an environment to remove oxide residuals. The method finds application in a variety of semiconductor fabrication processes including, for example, fabrication of a vertical HBT or silicon-to-silicon interface without an oxide interface.
摘要:
A heterojunction bipolar transistor is formed in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type including a collector region. A base region is formed on the substrate and an emitter region is formed over the base region. At least one of the collector, base and emitter regions includes a first region doped with an impurity having a first concentration and a second region doped with the impurity having a second concentration. Noise performance and reliability of the heterojunction bipolar transistor is improved without degrading ac performance.

Disclosed is a bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) or NPN/PNP device that has a collector, an intrinsic base above the collector, shallow trench isolation regions adjacent the collector, a raised extrinsic base above the intrinsic base, a T-shaped emitter above the extrinsic base, spacers adjacent the emitter, and a silicide layer that is separated from the emitter by the spacers.
摘要:
A heterobipolar transistor (HBT) for high-speed BiCMOS applications is provided in which the collector resistance, Rc, is lowered by providing a buried refractory metal silicide layer underneath the shallow trench isolation region on the subcollector of the device. Specifically, the HBT of the present invention includes a substrate including at least a subcollector; a buried refractory metal silicide layer located on the subcollector; and a shallow trench isolation region located on a surface of the buried refractory metal silicide layer. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating such a HBT. The method includes forming a buried refractory metal silicide underneath the shallow trench isolation region on the subcollector of the device.

摘要:
A structure comprises a single wafer with a first subcollector formed in a first region having a first thickness and a second subcollector formed in a second region having a second thickness, different from the first thickness. A method is also contemplated which includes providing a substrate including a first layer and forming a first doped region in the first layer. The method further includes forming a second layer on the first layer and forming a second doped region in the second layer. The second doped region is formed at a different depth than the first doped region. The method also includes forming a first reachthrough in the first layer and forming a second reachthrough in second layer to link the first reachthrough to the surface.
