摘要:
A method for fabricating a bipolar transistor includes forming collector, base, and emitter semiconductor layers on a substrate such that the layers form a vertical sequence with respect to an adjacent surface of the substrate. The method includes etching away a portion of a top one of the semiconductor layers to expose a portion of the base semiconductor layer and then, growing semiconductor on the exposed portion of the base layer. The top one of the semiconductor layers is the layer of the sequence that is located farthest from the substrate. The growing causes grown semiconductor to laterally surround a vertical portion of the top one of the semiconductor layers.

A method for fabricating a bipolar transistor includes forming a vertical sequence of semiconductor layers, forming an implant mask on the last formed semiconductor layer, and implanting dopant ions into a portion of one or more of the semiconductor layers. The sequence of semiconductor layers includes a collector layer, a base layer that is in contact with the collector layer, and an emitter layer that is in contact with the base layer. The implanting uses a process in which the implant mask stops dopant ions from penetrating into a portion of the sequence of layers.

摘要:
The specification describes a photolithography process using multiple exposures to form z-dimension patterns. Multiple exposures at different thickness levels are made using photomasks aligned with a latent image of alignment marks formed during the first exposure. The latent image is visible to the alignment system of commercial steppers.
摘要:
A method of fabricating a III-V heterostructure semiconductor device. The method includes the steps of forming at least one conductive post overlying a semiconductor region to form a structure, encapsulating the structure and the conductive post to form a planarized cured passivation layer, and exposing the conductive post through the planarized cured passivation layer to form the semiconductor device.
摘要:
The specification describes a metal contact material optimized for diffused contacts to the buried emitter-base junction in DHBT devices. The metal contact material is a multilayer structure of Pd--Pt--Au which gives the required critical diffusion properties for low resistance contacts to the buried base layer without shorting to the collector layer.

摘要:
The specification describes a lithographic technique in which alignment marks are defined in a first semiconductor layer and the alignment marks are then covered with a protective SiO2 layer. After subsequent semiconductor layer growth steps, which selectively deposit on the former semiconductor layer but not on the protective layer, the alignment marks remain undistorted and visible to the exposure tool for subsequent processing.
