摘要:
A method and lateral bipolar transistor structure are achieved, with high current gain, compatible with CMOS processing to form BiCMOS circuits. Making a lateral PNP bipolar involves forming an N− well in a P− doped silicon substrate. A patterned Si3N4 layer is used as an oxidation barrier mask to form field oxide isolation around device areas by the LOCOS method. A polysilicon layer over device areas is patterned to leave portions over the intrinsic base areas of the L-PNP bipolar an implant block-out mask. A buried N− base region is implanted in the substrate under the emitter region. A photoresist mask and the patterned polysilicon layer are used to implant the P++ doped emitter and collector for the L-PNP. The emitter junction depth xj intersects the highly doped N+ buried base region. This N+ doped base under the emitter reduces the current gain of the unwanted (parasitic) vertical PNP portion of the L-PNP bipolar to reduce the current gain of the V-PNP. The built-in potential Vbi of the emitter-base junction also increases further the current gain of the V-PNP thereby increasing the gain of the L-PNP bipolar transistor. By reversing the polarity of the dopants, L-NPN components can also be made. Also by implanting a tetravalent impurity such as Ge, Si, or C, the current gain of the L-PNP can be further improved.

A method and lateral bipolar transistor structure are achieved, with high current gain, compatible with CMOS processing to form BiCMOS circuits. Making a lateral PNP bipolar involves forming an N.sup.- well in a P.sup.- doped silicon substrate. A patterned Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 layer is used as an oxidation barrier mask to form field oxide isolation around device areas by the LOCOS method. A polysilicon layer over device areas is patterned to leave portions over the intrinsic base areas of the L-PNP bipolar an implant block-out mask. A buried N.sup.- base region is implanted in the substrate under the emitter region. A photoresist mask and the patterned polysilicon layer are used to implant the P.sup.++ doped emitter and collector for the L-PNP. The emitter junction depth x.sub.j intersects the highly doped N.sup.+ buried base region. This N.sup.+ doped base under the emitter reduces the current gain of the unwanted (parasitic) vertical PNP portion of the L-PNP bipolar to reduce the current gain of the V-PNP. The built-in potential V.sub.bi of the emitter-base junction also increases further the current gain of the V-PNP thereby increasing the gain of the L-PNP bipolar transistor. By reversing the polarity of the dopants, L-NPN components can also be made. Also by implanting a tetravalent impurity such as Ge, Si, or C, the current gain of the L-PNP can be further improved.

There is provided a method comprising receiving data corresponding to a layout design for a plurality of input mask layers and generating a layout design for at least one generated mask layer. The relationship between a first geometric element in a first layout pattern comprising one or more of the generated mask layers and a second geometric element in a second layout pattern is then determined and verified to check if they comply with predetermined rules. If the relationship does not conform with the predetermined rules the design of at least one of the generated mask layers associated with the first or second layout pattern is modified.

Large tuning range junction varactor includes first and second junction capacitors coupled in parallel between first and second varactor terminals. First and second plates of the capacitors are formed by three alternating doped regions in a substrate. The first and third doped regions are of the same type sandwiching the second doped region of the second type. A first input terminal is coupled to the first and third doped regions and a second terminal is coupled to the second doped region. At the interfaces of the doped regions are first and second depletion regions whose width can be varied by varying the voltage across the terminals from zero to full reverse bias.

A structure and a process for a self-aligned vertical PNP transistor for high performance SiGe CBiCMOS process. Embodiments include SiGe CBiCMOS with high-performance SiGe NPN transistors and PNP transistors. As the PNP transistors and NPN transistors contained different types of impurity profile, they need separate lithography and doping step for each transistor. The process is easy to integrate with existing CMOS process to save manufacturing time and cost. As plug-in module, fully integration with SiGe BiCMOS processes. High doping Polysilicon Emitter can increase hole injection efficiency from emitter to base, reduce emitter resistor, and form very shallow EB junction. Self-aligned N+ base implant can reduce base resistor and parasitical EB capacitor. Very low collector resistor benefits from BP layer. PNP transistor can be Isolated from other CMOS and NPN devices by BNwell, Nwell and BN+ junction.

A MOS varactor includes a shallow PN junction beneath the surface of the substrate of a MOS structure. In depletion mode, the depletion region of the MOS structure merges with the depletion region of the shallow PN junction. This increases the total width of the depletion region of the MOS varactor to reduce Cmin.
