Abstract:
Disclosed is a bipolar transistor and a method of forming the transistor, where the transistor includes a collector (12) in a substrate (10), an intrinsic base (14) above the collector, an extrinsic base adjacent the intrinsic base, and an emitter (130) above the intrinsic base. The extrinsic base includes extrinsic base implant regions (82, 172, 192) adjacent the intrinsic base, when viewed in cross-section. The transistor is formed by patterning an emitter pedestal (50) for the lower portion of the emitter on the substrate above the intrinsic base. The extrinsic base is formed in regions not protected by the emitter pedestal. Subsequently, the emitter, associated spacers (180) and a silicide region (220) are formed. The silicide, extrinsic base and emitter are all self-aligned with each other.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a self-adjusting bipolar transistor structure having a projecting exogenous base provided with external and internal regions with different dope densities, and to provide its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: The first material of a first dope density is provided so that an exogenous base external region is formed. Then, a first opening is formed in the first material's layer by lithography into which a dummy emitter pedestal is formed, and by which a trench is formed between a side wall of the first opening and the dummy pedestal. Thereafter, the second material of a second dope density is provided within this trench, and another exogenous base internal extension region is formed whose projecting external base marginal part self-adjusts to a dummy pedestal marginal part. Since the emitter is formed where there were the dummy pedestals, this exogenous base also self-adjusts to the emitter. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistor having improved extension resistance and channel strain characteristics, and to provice a method of forming the SOI transistor. SOLUTION: The silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistor device includes: a buried insulator layer formed on a bulk substrate; an SOI layer formed on the buried insulator layer; and a pair of silicon containing epitaxial regions that are disposed adjacently to opposing sides of a gate conductor and correspond to source and drain regions of the transistor device, respectively. Parts of the epitaxial regions are embedded in the buried insulator and in contact with both vertical and bottom surfaces of the SOI layer corresponding to source and drain extension regions at opposing ends of a channel region of the transistor device.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-performance bipolar device and its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: The method to increase electronic charge carrier mobility in a bipolar device includes the steps of generating compression strain in the device to increase hole mobility on the device's internal base, and causing tensile strain in the device to increase electron mobility on the internal base of the device. The compression strain and tensile strain are generated by forming a stress layer in the neighborhood of the internal base of the device. As for the stress layer, at least part of it is adjacent to an emitter structure of the device, and is imbedded in the device's base layer. The stress layer has a grating constant different from the internal base. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bipolar transistor having self-aligned raised extrinsic base silicide and emitter contact border. SOLUTION: The bipolar transistor exhibits the parasitic property which is more reduced than the parasitic property exhibited by a bipolar transistor which is not equipped with self-aligned silicide and a self-aligned emitter contact border. In a method of manufacturing the bipolar transistor structure, a block emitter polysilicon region is replaced with a conventional T-shaped emitter polysilicon. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
Verfahren zum Herstellen von Bipolartransistoren, Bipolartransistoren, die mittels der Verfahren hergestellt werden, sowie Entwurfsstrukturen für einen Bipolartransistor. Der Bipolartransistor (80) beinhaltet eine dielektrische Schicht (32) auf einer intrinsischen Basis (84) und eine extrinsische Basis (82), die durch die dielektrische Schicht wenigstens teilweise von der intrinsischen Basis getrennt ist. Eine Emitter-Öffnung (52) erstreckt sich durch die extrinsische Basis und die dielektrische Schicht hindurch. Die dielektrische Schicht ist lateral relativ zu der Emitter-Öffnung vertieft, um einen Hohlraum (60a, 60b) zwischen der intrinsischen Basis und der extrinsischen Basis zu definieren. Der Hohlraum ist mit einer Halbleiterschicht (64) gefüllt, welche die extrinsische Basis und die intrinsische Basis physisch miteinander verbindet.
Abstract:
Methods for fabricating bipolar junction transistors, bipolar junction transistors made by the methods, and design structures for a bipolar junction transistor. The bipolar junction transistor includes a dielectric layer on an intrinsic base and an extrinsic base at least partially separated from the intrinsic base by the dielectric layer. An emitter opening extends through the extrinsic base and the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is recessed laterally relative to the emitter opening to define a cavity between the intrinsic base and the extrinsic base. The cavity is filled with a semiconductor layer that physically links the extrinsic base and the intrinsic base together.
