Abstract:
Disclosed is a bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) or NPN/PNP device that has a collector (112), an intrinsic base (118) above the collector, shallow trench isolation regions (114) adjacent the collector, a raised extrinsic base (202) above the intrinsic base, a T-shaped emitter (800) above the extrinsic base, spacers (700) adjacent the emitter, and a silicide (400) layer that is separated from the emitter by the spacers.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of adjusting a particle size in a polysilicon layer, and to provide a device manufactured by the method. SOLUTION: In the method, the polysilicon layer is formed on a substrate and the particle size in the polysilicon layer is adjusted so that the average resulting particle size of the polysilicon layer after a polysilicon particle-size adjusting ion is injected into the layer and prescribed annealing is performed on the layer becomes higher or lower than an average resulting particle-size that must be obtained after the same annealing is performed on the polysilicon layer without injecting the ion into the layer by injecting the particle-size adjusting ion into the polysilicon layer.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a hetero-junction bipolar transistor having a raised base of which the base resistance is decreased by forming silicide extending to an emitter region in a self-aligning manner on a raised base. SOLUTION: This silicide formation is incorporated in a BiCMOS process flow after forming a raised and extrinsic base. The bipolar transistor has the raised and extrinsic base, and the hetero-junction bipolar transistor has silicide positioned on the raised and extrinsic base. The silicide on the extrinsic base extends to an emitter in a self-aligning manner. The emitter is isolated from the silicide by a spacer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
A heterobipolar transistor (HBT) for high-speed BiCMOS applications is provided in which the collector resistance, Rc, is lowered by providing a buried refractory metal silicide layer underneath the shallow trench isolation region on the subcollector of the device. Specifically, the HBT of the present invention includes a substrate (12) including at least a subcollector (13); a buried refractory metal silicide layer (28) located on the subcollector; and a shallow trench isolation region (30) located on a surface of the buried refractory metal silicide layer. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating such a HBT. The method includes forming a buried refractory metal silicide underneath the shallow trench isolation region on the subcollector of the device.
