The field effect transistor, including: a gate electrode formed on a top surface of a gate dielectric layer, the gate dielectric layer on a top surface of a single-crystal silicon channel region, the single-crystal silicon channel region on a top surface of a Ge including layer, the Ge including layer on a top surface of a single-crystal silicon substrate, the Ge including layer between a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer on the top surface of the single-crystal silicon substrate.
Abstract:
A bipolar transistor for a small signal amplifier that has improved Early voltages, and hence enhanced cutoff frequency. The SiGe layer (14) has a thickness (t) and a Ge content that is greater than the stability limit. The misfit dislocations do not create appreciable charge trapping sites, and do not extend into the overlying base/collector junction, such that performance is improved without yield degradation.
Abstract:
A structure for a transistor that includes an insulator (10) and a silicon structure on the insulator. The silicon structure includes a central portion (155) and Fins (250) extending from ends of the central portion. A first gate (50) is positioned on a first side of the central portion of the silicon structure. A strain-producing layer (11) could be between the first gate (50) and the first side of the central portion (155) of the silicon structure and a second gate (160) is on a second side of the central portion (155) of the silicon structure.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a BiCMOS device comprising a deep sub-collector region and a self-aligning mark. SOLUTION: There are provided a step (a) where a layer with a first pattern comprising a thick dielectric material is formed on the surface of a material stack formed on a semiconductor substrate through lithography, a step (b) where high energy/high dose injection is performed via an opening of the first layer as well as the material stack to form at least one deep sub-collector region in the semiconductor substrate, a step (c) where a layer with a second pattern (photoresist or dielectrics) is formed by lithography, and a step (d) where etching is performed through the material stack for forming an alignment mark in the semiconductor substrate, which is positioned below, using the layer with the first pattern as an alignment mark mask.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oxide etching process that can be used for manufacturing the emitter and base in a bipolar SiGe device. SOLUTION: The low-temperature process used gives electric insulation between the emitters and bases by COR (chemical oxide removal) etching protecting the insulating TEOS (tetraethylorthosilicate) glass 22. The insulating TEOS glass 22 brings about the capacitance reduction, and promotes to achieve high-speed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an epitaxial base bipolar transistor which has low base resistance and whose capacitance does not increase. SOLUTION: This epitaxial base bipolar transistor is provided with an epitaxial silicon layer on a single crystal semiconductor substrate 54, a raised emitter 64 on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, a raised extrinsic base 58e on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, an insulator 66 as a spacer between the raised emitter and raised extrinsic base, and a diffusion from the raised emitter and from the raised extrinsic base to provide an emitter diffusion and an extrinsic base diffusion in the semiconductor substrate. The emitter diffusion has an emitter diffusion junction depth, and the raised emitter extends to the surface of the semiconductor substrate and the raised extrinsic base extends to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A difference of height between the surfaces of the emitter and base is less than 20% of the emitter diffusion junction depth.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor bipolar transistor structure which is improved in anti-electrostatic discharge (ESD), and to provide a manufacturing method thereof. SOLUTION: This semiconductor structure includes a bipolar transistor comprising an intrinsic base of a low impurity concentration, a high impurity concentration external base which is adjacent to the intrinsic base and has a doping transition boundary between the high impurity concentration base and the low impurity concentration base, and whose doping transition boundary between the high impurity concentration base and the low impurity concentration base is decided by the end of a window, and a silicide region extending onto the external base, containing the silicide region totally away from the window.
Abstract:
A method for making a non-self-aligned, heterojunction bipolar transistor includes forming extrinsic base regions (70) with a PFET source/drain implant aligned with the polysilicon in an emitter stack but which are not directly aligned with an emitter opening defined in that stack. This is achieved by making the emitter pedestal (66) wider than the emitter opening. This advantageously removes the dependency of alignment between the extrinsic base regions and the emitter opening, thereby resulting in fewer process steps, reduced thermal cycles, and improved speed.
