  • Patent number: 9202901
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a metal silicide self-aligned SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor, which is designed to overcome the shortcomings such as the large base resistance RB of the prior art products. The metal silicide self-aligned SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor of the present invention mainly comprises an Si collector region, a local dielectric region, a base region, a base-region low-resistance metal silicide layer, a polysilicon emitter region, an emitter-base spacer dielectric region composed of a liner silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride inner sidewall, a monocrystalline emitter region, a contact hole dielectric layer, an emitter metal electrode and a base metal electrode. The base-region low-resistance metal silicide layer extends all the way to the outside of the emitter-base spacer dielectric region. The present invention discloses a method of forming a metal silicide self-aligned SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor, which is used to form the aforesaid bipolar transistor.

  • Patent number: 9012291
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a bipolar transistor with an embedded epitaxial external base region, which is designed to solve the problem of the TED effect with the prior art structures. The bipolar transistor with an embedded epitaxial external base region of the present invention comprises at least a collector region, a base region and an external base region on the collector region, an emitter on the base region, and sidewalls at both sides of the emitter. The external base region is grown through an in-situ doping selective epitaxy process and is embedded in the collector region. A portion of the external base region is located beneath the sidewalls. The present invention discloses a method of forming a bipolar transistor with an embedded epitaxial external base region.
