    Abstract: Device structures and fabrication methods for a bipolar junction transistor. A trench isolation region surrounds an active region that includes a collector. A base layer is arranged over the active region, and a semiconductor layer is arranged on the base layer. The semiconductor layer includes a stepped profile with a first section having a first width adjacent to the base layer and a second section having a second width that is less than the first width. An emitter is arranged on the second section of the semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: Device structures and fabrication methods for a heterojunction bipolar transistor. A collector of the device structure has a top surface and a sidewall that is inclined relative to the top surface. The device structure further includes an emitter, an intrinsic base that has a first thickness, and an extrinsic base coupled with the intrinsic base. The extrinsic base has a lateral arrangement relative to the intrinsic base and relative to the emitter. The intrinsic base has a vertical arrangement between the emitter and the top surface of the collector. The sidewall of the collector extends laterally to undercut the extrinsic base. The extrinsic base has a second thickness that is greater than a first thickness of the intrinsic base.
