摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of a method of fabricating a bipolar transistor with a self-aligned raised extrinsic base. In the method a dielectric pad is formed on a substrate with a minimum dimension capable of being produced using current state-of-the-are lithographic patterning. An opening is aligned above the dielectric pad and etched through an isolation oxide layer to an extrinsic base layer. The opening is equal to or greater in size than the dielectric pad. Another smaller opening is etched through the extrinsic base layer to the dielectric pad. A multi-step etching process is used to selectively remove the extrinsic base layer from the surfaces of the dielectric pad and then to selectively remove the dielectric pad. An emitter is then formed in the resulting trench. The resulting transistor structure has a distance between the edge of the lower section of the emitter and the edge of the extrinsic base that is minimized, thereby, reducing resistance.

摘要： A structure and method where C is incorporated into the collector region of a heterojunction bipolar device by a method which does not include C ion implantation are provided. In the present invention, C is incorporated into the collector by epitaxy in a perimeter trench etched into the collector region to better control the carbon profile and location. The trench is formed by etching the collector region using the trench isolation regions and a patterned layer over the center part of the collector as masks. Then, Si:C is grown using selective epitaxy inside the trench to form a Si:C region with sharp and well-defined edges. The depth, width and C content can be optimized to control and tailor the collector implant diffusion and to reduce the perimeter component of parasitic CCB.

摘要： A field effect transistor is provided which includes a contiguous single-crystal semiconductor region in which a source region, a channel region and a drain region are disposed. The channel region has an edge in common with the source region as a source edge, and the channel region further has an edge in common with the drain region as a drain edge. A gate conductor overlies the channel region. The field effect transistor further includes a structure which applies a stress at a first magnitude to only one of the source edge and the drain edge while applying the stress at no greater than a second magnitude to another one of the source edge and the drain edge, wherein the second magnitude has a value ranging from zero to about half the first magnitude. In a particular embodiment, the stress is applied at the first magnitude to the source edge while the zero or lower magnitude stress is applied to the drain edge. In another embodiment, the stress is applied at the first magnitude to the drain edge while the zero or lower magnitude stress is applied to the drain edge.

摘要： A bipolar transistor with raised extrinsic base and selectable self-alignment between the extrinsic base and the emitter is disclosed. The fabrication method may include the formation of a predefined thickness of a first extrinsic base layer of polysilicon or silicon on an intrinsic base. A dielectric landing pad is then formed by lithography on the first extrinsic base layer. Next, a second extrinsic base layer of polysilicon or silicon is formed on top of the dielectric landing pad to finalize the raised extrinsic base total thickness. An emitter opening is formed using lithography and RIE, where the second extrinsic base layer is etched stopping on the dielectric landing pad. The degree of self-alignment between the emitter and the raised extrinsic base is achieved by selecting the first extrinsic base layer thickness, the dielectric landing pad width, and the spacer width.

摘要： A method of increasing mobility of charge carriers in a bipolar device comprises the steps of: creating compressive strain in the device to increase mobility of holes in an intrinsic base of the device; and creating tensile strain in the device to increase mobility of electrons in the intrinsic base of the device. The compressive and tensile strains are created by forming a stress layer in close proximity to the intrinsic base of the device. The stress layer is at least partially embedded in a base layer of the device, adjacent an emitter structure of the device. The stress layer has different lattice constant than the intrinsic base. Method and apparatus are described.

摘要： Methods for fabricating a heterojunction bipolar transistor having a raised extrinsic base is provided in which the base resistance is reduced by forming a silicide atop the raised extrinsic base that extends to the emitter region in a self-aligned manner. The silicide formation is incorporated into a BiCMOS process flow after the raised extrinsic base has been formed. The present invention also provides a heterojunction bipolar transistor having a raised extrinsic base and a silicide located atop the raised extrinsic base. The silicide atop the raised extrinsic base extends to the emitter in a self-aligned manner. The emitter is separated from the silicide by a spacer.
