Abstract: Method for manufacturing a fast bipolar transistor, including a semiconductor body having a transistor formed therein including a base contact, an emitter zone, and a base zone, the base zone being subdivided into a first inner subregion disposed below the emitter zone and a second outer subregion including all other base regions and being disposed below the base contact, each of the subregions being separately doped to a given degree. The method for manufacturing the same includes the application of a layer of undoped polysilicon on top of a monocrystalline silicon substrate, and subsequently doping the polysilicon by ion implantation with one or more dopants, such as boron or arsenic, followed by a diffusion process for thermally diffusing the dopants into the silicon substrate, thereby creating emitter and base regions that are very small and thin, so that high frequency operation of the resulting transistor may be attained.
