  • Patent number: 10468508
    Abstract: A bipolar transistor is supported by a single-crystal silicon substrate including a collector contact region. A first epitaxial region forms a collector region of a first conductivity type on the collector contact region. A second epitaxial region forms a base region of a second conductivity type. Deposited semiconductor material forms an emitter region of the first conductivity type. The collector region, base region and emitter region are located within an opening formed in a stack of insulating layers that includes a sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer is selectively removed to expose a side wall of the base region. Epitaxial growth from the exposed sidewall forms a base contact region.

  • Patent number: 10381269
    Abstract: A PNP transistor is manufactured in parallel with the manufacture of NPN, NMOS, and PMOS transistors. A first semiconductor layer is deposited on a P-type doped semiconductor substrate and divided into first, second, and third regions, with the third region forming the base. An insulating well is deeply implanted into the substrate. First and second third wells, respectively of N-type and P-type are formed to extend between the second region and third region and the insulating well. A third well of P-type is formed below the third region to provide the collector. Insulating layers are deposited over the third region and patterned to form an opening. Epitaxial growth of a second P-type doped semiconductor layer is performed in the opening to provide the emitter.
