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.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for making a lateral PNP bipolar electronic device integrated monolithically on a semiconductor substrate together with other bipolar devices of the NPN type, said device being incorporated to an electrically insulated multilayer structure. The device includes a semiconductor substrate doped with impurities of the P type; a first buried layer doped with impurities of the N type to form a base region; and a second layer, overlying the first and having conductivity of the N type, to form an active area with opposite collector and emitter regions being formed in said active area and separated by a base channel region. The width of the base channel region is defined essentially by a contact opening formed above an oxide layer deposited over the base channel region. Advantageously, the contact opening is formed by shifting an emitter mask.
摘要:
A complementary bipolar transistor having a lateral npn bipolar transistor, a vertical and a lateral pnp bipolar transistor, an integrated injection logic, a diffusion capacitor, a polysilicon capacitor and polysilicon resistors are disclosed. The lateral pnp bipolar transistor has an emitter region and a collector region which includes high-density regions and low-density regions, and the emitter region is formed in an n type tub region. In the integrated injection logic circuit, collector regions are surrounded by a high-density p type region, and low-density p type regions are formed under the collector regions. The diffusion capacitor and the polysilicon capacitor are formed in one substrate. The diffusion regions except the regions formed by diffusing the impurities in the polysilicon resistors into the epitaxial layer are formed before forming the polysilicon resistors, and polysilicon electrodes are formed along with the polysilicon resistors.
