摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for etching a feature in an etch layer that has a thickness of more than 2 micrometers from an initial contact face for the etchant to an opposite bottom face of the etch layer, at a lateral feature position in the etch layer and with a critical lateral extension at the bottom face. The method includes fabricating, at the lateral feature position on the substrate layer, a mask feature from a mask-layer material, the mask feature having the critical lateral extension. The etch layer is deposited to a thickness of more than 2 micrometers, on the mask feature and on the substrate layer, from an etch-layer material, which is selectively etchable relative to the mask-layer material. Then, the feature is etched in the etch layer at the first lateral position with a lateral extension larger than the critical lateral extension, using an etchant that selectively removes the etch layer-material relative to the mask-layer material.

摘要:
A semiconductor device provided with a semiconductor substrate with a bipolar transistor having a collector region of a first conductivity type, a base region adjoining the collector region and of a second conductivity type opposed to the first, and an elongate emitter region of the first conductivity type adjoining the base region; the collector region, the base region, and the emitter region being provided with conductor tracks which are connected to conductive connection surfaces. The conductor track on the elongate emitter region of the semiconductor device has a connection to a connection surface for a further electrical connection at each of the two ends of the emitter region. The emitter region may be made longer in this manner because the length of the emitter region is effectively halved by the connections at the two ends. Consequently, charge carriers need be transported over no more than at most half the emitter length. The semiconductor device according to the invention is thus capable of supplying high powers because the charge transport is not limited by charge transport through the conductor track on the elongate emitter region.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with a bipolar transistor (1) and a MOS transistor (2) formed in a silicon body (3) which for this purpose is provided with a field insulation region (4) by which semiconductor regions (6, 7) adjoining a surface (5) of said body are mutually insulated. A first region (6) is destined for the bipolar transistor and a second region (7) for the MOS transistor. The second region is provided with a gate dielectric (10). Then an electrode layer of non-crystalline silicon (11) is provided on the surface, which electrode layer is provided with a doping and in which electrode layer subsequently an emitter electrode (12) is formed on the first region and a gate electrode (13) on the second region. The electrode layer is provided with a doping by means of a treatment whereby a first dopant is provided at the area of the first region and a second dopant at the area of the second region, the first dopant being provided to a concentration such that the emitter zone of the transistor can be formed through diffusion from the emitter electrode to be formed in the electrode layer, while the second dopant is provided to a concentration lower than that of the first dopant. Owing to the comparatively low doping level, gate oxide breakdown is prevented during plasma etching and ion implantation.
