Abstract: The present application provides methods for manufacturing BiCMOS device and the heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) contained therein. In formation of a raised extrinsic base region of the heterojunction bipolar transistor, the epitaxial silicon is doped with carbon (C) and boron (B) in situ and is doped with a metal catalyst simultaneously, then, the plasma treatment and the laser annealing are conducted to the carbon, and a graphene region is formed in the Si epitaxial layer. Because of high conductivity of graphene, the base resistance of the SiGe HBT can be reduced to enhance its radiation performance. The above method can be applied to conventional BiCMOS device process by performing plasma treatment and laser annealing to the doped carbon to form the graphene region in the extrinsic base region. The method is easily controlled and integrated into conventional BiCMOS device process.

Abstract: A computer system configured to overcome the conventional bottleneck of memory throughput. A wafer-on-wafer (WOW) technology is adapted to overcome the physical limitation of quantity and length in circuit deployments. The memory devices and the memory controllers in the logic circuit layer are improved to transmit data in differential signals. The differential signals can significantly reduce the error rate in high-speed transmissions, at a voltage level far lower than that of the conventional single-end signals. Thus, the power consumption of the computer system is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the memory controller in the computer system is improved to be an integrated controller having control over physical layer signals. Thereby, the conventional physical layer interface is no longer needed in the computer system, and therefore the cost to the computer system is further reduced.
