  • Publication number: 20260082605
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a radio frequency bipolar transistor includes fabricating a structure including a substrate having a main surface, a collector formed in the substrate, a monocrystalline base and a cavity. The collector faces the monocrystalline base in a first direction perpendicular to the main surface and the monocrystalline base faces the cavity in the first direction. A spacer layer is formed in the cavity and the spacer layer is contacting the monocrystalline base and extending in the first direction. An emitter is formed by selective epitaxial growing doped semiconductor material from a first region of the monocrystalline base wherein during the selective epitaxial growing a first sticking coefficient on the spacer layer is zero or a factor 1/10 or less of a second sticking coefficient on the monocrystalline base.

  • Patent number: 10312159
    Abstract: A method comprises providing a substrate of a first conductive type and a layer stack arranged on the substrate. The layer stack comprises a first isolation layer, a sacrificial layer, and a second isolation layer. The layer stack comprises a window formed in the layer stack through the second isolation layer, the sacrificial layer and the first isolation layer up to a surface region of the substrate. The method comprises providing a collector layer. The method comprises providing a base layer on the collector layer within the window of the layer stack. The method comprises providing an emitter layer or an emitter layer stack comprising the emitter layer on the base layer within the window of the layer stack. The method further comprises selectively removing the emitter layer or the emitter layer stack at least up to the second isolation layer.

  • Patent number: 9166039
    Abstract: A transistor component includes an active transistor region arranged in the semiconductor body. And insulation region surrounds the active transistor region in the semiconductor body in a ring-shaped manner. A source zone, a drain zone, a body zone and a drift zone are disposed in the active transistor region. The source zone and the drain zone are spaced apart in a lateral direction of the semiconductor body and the body zone is arranged between the source zone and the drift zone and the drift zone is arranged between the body zone and the drain zone. A gate and field electrode is arranged over the active transistor region. The dielectric layer has a first thickness in a region near the body zone and a second thickness in a region near the drift zone.
