    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of an improved transistor structure (100) (e.g., a bipolar transistor (BT) structure or heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) structure) and a method of forming the transistor structure (100). The structure embodiments can incorporate a dielectric layer (130) sandwiched between an intrinsic base layer (120) and a raised extrinsic base layer (140) to reduce collector-base capacitance C cb , a sidewall-defined conductive strap (150) for an intrinsic base layer (120) to extrinsic base layer (140) link-up region to reduce base resistance R b and a dielectric spacer (160) between the extrinsic base layer (140) and an emitter layer (180) to reduce base- emitter C be capacitance. The method embodiments allow for self-aligning of the emitter to base regions and further allow the geometries of different features (e.g., the thickness of the dielectric layer (130), the width of the conductive strap (150), the width of the dielectric spacer (160) and the width of the emitter layer (180)) to be selectively adjusted in order to optimize transistor performance.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit structure forms a first opening in a substrate (100; Figure 1) and lines the first opening with a protective liner. (102) The method deposits a material into the first opening (104) and forms a protective material over the substrate. The protective material includes a process control mark and includes a second opening above, and aligned with, the first opening. (108) The method removes the material from the first opening through the second opening in the protective material. (110) The process control mark comprises a recess within the protective material that extends only partially through the protective material, such that portions of the substrate below the process control mark are not affected by the process of removing the material.
