    Abstract: A Compressed vertical bipolar transistor configuration that eliminates one side of the standard symmetrical base contact, while also eliminating the requirement for a collector contact reach-thru. The bipolar transistor comprises: a collector layer (12); a base layer (14) disposed over the collector layer; an emitter layer (16) disposed over the base layer; a first sidewall insulating layer (18) disposed adjacent to and in contact with one side of the emitter layer, the base layer, and at least a portion of the collector layer; a second sidewall insulating layer (20) disposed adjacent to and in contact with another side of the emitter layer and at least a portion of the base layer; and a base contact extension layer (22) formed from heavily doped semiconductor material of the same conductivity type as the base layer, said base contact extension layer being in contact with and extending laterally from another side of the base layer. The structure further includes a base contact interconnect (24) disposed on a surface of the base contact extension layer and; a collector contact extension layer (26) formed from doped semiconductor material with the same conductivity type as the collector layer, with the collector contact extension layer being in contact with the collector layer and extending laterally from or below the one side thereof; and a collector contact interconnect (29) disposed on a surface of the collector contact extension layer and separated from said emitter layer by only one or more insulating layers.

    Abstract: A method for forming fully recessed (planar) isolation regions (22,24) on a semiconductor for the manufacture of CMOS integrated circuits, and the resulting semiconductor structure, comprising in a P doped silicon substrate (10) with mesas (22,24) formed therein, forming low viscosity sidewall spacers (30) of borosilicate glass in contact with the sidewalls of those mesas designated to have N-channel devices formed therein; then filling the trenches (11,12) in the substrate adjacent to the mesas with TEOS 32); and heating the structure until the boron in the sidewall spacers diffuses into the sidewalls of the designated mesas to form channel stops (40,42). These sidewall spacers reduce the occurrence of cracks in the TEOS by relieving internal mechanical stress therein and permit the formation of channel stops via diffusion, thereby permitting mesa walls to be substantially vertical.

    Abstract: Structures and methods for forming keyhole shaped regions for isolation and/or stressing the substrate are shown. In a first embodiment, we form an inverted keyhole shaped trench in the substrate in the first opening preferably using a two step etch. Next, we fill the inverted keyhole trench with a material that insulates and/or creates stress on the sidewalls of the inverted keyhole trench. In a second embodiment, we form a keyhole stressor region adjacent to the gate and isolation structures. The keyhole stressor region creates stress near the channel region of the FET to improve FET performance. The stressor region can be filled with an insulator or a semiconductor material.

    Abstract: A method for providing a dual stress memory technique in a semiconductor device (100) including an nFET (104, 204) and a pFET (106, 206) and a related structure are disclosed. One embodiment of the method includes forming a tensile stress layer (120) over the nFET (104) and a compressive stress layer (122) over the pFET (106), annealing to memorize stress in the semiconductor device and removing the stress layers. The compressive stress layer may include a high stress silicon nitride deposited using a high density plasma (HDP) deposition method. The annealing step may include using a temperature of approximately 400-1200 [err]C. The high stress compressive silicon nitride and/or the anneal temperatures ensure that the compressive stress memorization is retained in the pFET.
