    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method of fabricating semiconductor devices with a gate-to-gate spacing that is wider than a minimum gate-to-gate spacing and the resulting semiconductor devices. The method includes forming gate structures over an active structure, the gate structures including a first gate structure, a second gate structure, and a third gate structure. The second gate structure is between the first and third gate structures. A plurality of epitaxial structures are formed adjacent to the gate structures, wherein the second gate structure separates two epitaxial structures and the two epitaxial structures are between the first and third gate structures. The second gate structure is removed. A conductive region is formed to connect the epitaxial structures between the first and third gate structures.

    Abstract: Structures for a bipolar junction transistor and methods of fabricating a structure for a bipolar junction transistor. The structure includes a collector having a first semiconductor layer, an emitter having a second semiconductor layer, an intrinsic base including nanosheet channel layers positioned with a spaced arrangement in a layer stack, and a base contact laterally positioned between the first and second semiconductor layers. Each nanosheet channel layer extends laterally from the first semiconductor layer to the second semiconductor layer. Sections of the base contact are respectively positioned in spaces between the nanosheet channel layers. The structure further includes first spacers laterally positioned between the sections of the base contact and the first semiconductor layer, and second spacers laterally positioned between the sections of the base contact and the second semiconductor layer.
