    摘要: A method of protecting a CMOS device within an integrated photonic semiconductor structure is provided. The method may include depositing a conformal layer of germanium over the CMOS device and an adjacent area to the CMOS device, depositing a conformal layer of dielectric hardmask over the germanium, and forming, using a mask level, a patterned layer of photoresist for covering the CMOS device and a photonic device formation region within the adjacent area. Openings are etched into areas of the deposited layer of silicon nitride not covered by the patterned photoresist, such that the areas are adjacent to the photonic device formation region. The germanium material is then etched from the conformal layer of germanium at a location underlying the etched openings for forming the photonic device at the photonic device formation region. The conformal layer of germanium deposited over the CMOS device protects the CMOS device.

    摘要: Device structures for a bipolar junction transistor. The device structure includes a collector region, an intrinsic base formed on the collector region, an emitter coupled with the intrinsic base and separated from the collector by the intrinsic base, and an isolation region extending through the intrinsic base to the collector region. The isolation region is formed with a first section having first sidewalls that extend through the intrinsic base and a second section with second sidewalls that extend into the collector region. The second sidewalls are inclined relative to the first sidewalls. The isolation region is positioned in a trench that is formed with first and second etching process in which the latter etches different crystallographic directions of a single-crystal semiconductor material at different etch rates.

    摘要: Fabrication methods, device structures, and design structures for a heterojunction bipolar transistor. A collector is formed in a semiconductor substrate, an intrinsic base is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and an extrinsic base is formed on the intrinsic base. An airgap is located vertically between the extrinsic base and the collector. A contact surface is located adjacent to the airgap. The contact surface is coupled with the collector. A spacer is located laterally between the airgap and the subcollector contact surface.

    摘要: Device structures, fabrication methods, and design structures for a bipolar junction transistor. A first isolation region is formed in a substrate to define a lateral boundary for an active device region and an intrinsic base layer is formed on the substrate. The intrinsic base layer has a section overlying the active device region. After the intrinsic base layer is formed, the first isolation region is partially removed adjacent to the active device region to define a trench that is coextensive with the substrate in the active device region and that is coextensive with the first isolation region. The trench is at least partially filled with a dielectric material to define a second isolation region.
