Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor and a vertical bipolar transistor. The vertical bipolar transistor has an intrinsic base with a band barrier at least 25 meV high at a surface boundary of the intrinsic base, except at an emitter-base junction with an emitter, and except at a base-collector junction with a collector. The intrinsic base may be laterally surrounded by an extrinsic base with a higher dopant density than the intrinsic base, wherein a higher dopant density provides the band barrier at lateral surfaces of the intrinsic base. A gate may be disposed on a gate dielectric layer over a top surface boundary of the intrinsic base adjacent to the emitter. The gate is configured to accumulate the intrinsic base immediately under the gate dielectric layer, providing the band barrier at the top surface boundary of the intrinsic base.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) substrate including a top device layer, a buried oxide (BOX) layer, and a bottom handle portion. A filled trench is lined with a trench dielectric layer that extends to at least the BOX layer, defining an inner and an outer portion of the device layer. A field effect transistor (FET) includes an inner portion, a source region having a source contact thereto and a drain region having a drain contact thereto, each doped a first doping type. A gate region has a gate contact that is separated from the inner portion by the trench dielectric. The source and drain region are separated by a body region doped a second doping type having a body contact.
