Abstract:
A method is proposed for integrating a bipolar injunction transistor (100) in a die of semiconductor material having a main surface (105) covered by a sacrificial insulating layer (110), the die including a collector region (Rc) of a first type of conductivity extending from the main surface. The method includes the steps of forming an intrinsic base region (Rbi) of a second type of conductivity extending in the collector region from the main surface through an intrinsic base window (Wbi) of the sacrificial insulating layer, and forming an emitter region (Re) of the first type of conductivity extending in the intrinsic base region from the main surface through an emitter window (We) of the sacrificial insulating layer; in the solution according to an embodiment of the invention, the method further includes the steps of removing the sacrificial insulating layer, forming an intermediate insulating layer (115) on the main surface, the intermediate insulating layer having a thickness lower than a thickness of the sacrificial layer, and forming an extrinsic base region (Rbe) of the second type of conductivity extending in the intrinsic base region from the main surface through an extrinsic base window (Wbe) of the intermediate insulating layer, the extrinsic base region having a concentration of impurities higher than a concentration of impurities of the intrinsic base region and being separated from the emitter region by a portion of the intrinsic base region.
